I Drive: a 1991 Mazda Miata, with TEETH!
So I have some spiffy PIAA fog lights on my Miata. When I bought the car they were installed, but not properly hooked up, or rather the switch haad been cut out and thrown in the glove box... anyway. I reattached the switch and found that all was almost well. Only one light turned on. I tested the voltage running through the fixture and found that it had the power to turn the light on. So I replaced the bulb... and now none of the two lights are getting power of any kind. There is power going in to the switch box, but not out of it. I can hear the switch working, but the lights just won't turn on.

Does anyone have experence with PIAA lights and can help with this problem?

I can give more details upon request.

sounds like a wiring problem, not a light problem, but I'm drunk so who knows...

yep all the wires are there and hooked up correctly as far as I can tell. They just stopped working after I replaced the burnt out bulb, odd. i am wondering if there is a fuse of some sort in the PIAA switch that got fried somehow. I'll have some time tomorrow to dig into it if it doesn't rain.

Fixed. It was a fuse inside the PIAA box.

Now I can see thorough the fog!
