Default Ebay Depo Fogs: Only one works!

So I've had these fogs for 3 years, and finally installed them about a month and a half ago. From the time I installed them to this morning, they worked just fine. However, this morning I noticed only one was lit. I turned the switch off then on a few times, and only one light remains lit. What gives? Does anyone have any ideas? Again, both lights have been working fine for a month before today...

Have you checked the bulb in the housing that is not lighting up? Have you swapped the bulbs around to see if the problem continues to happen on the one side with the known working bulb?

I have the same problem there are so many different options. It could be the bulb is burnt out, the wires have a lose or broken connection, blown fuse.

When I had them apart before when I sealed them with silicone, I couldn't even figure out how the bulbs come out. Also, I don't remember seeing a fuse for each lamp, just the fuse on the relay. So, how do the bulbs come out of the depo fogs?

To be honest that is the one thing I don't remember, but yes only one fuse on the relay is what I meant. I think you can take the back off the light some how. See if there are bolts or screws.

Yes, there are a about 8 screws on the back. Buy a new set of bulbs, along with a tube of silicone. Make sure you scrape all of the "old" silicone off before applying a new layer.

I would allow the silicone at least 24 hours to dry before re-installing the lights.

Well if theres only one fuse, and theres still one foglight working, wouldn't that rule out the possibility of a blown fuse? And I still can't figure out how to get the bulbs out of these damn things. I don't want to break anything lol

You have to pull the fog light off the car and unscrew the back panel.
