I thought there was a thread about someones fog lights not working but I can't find it. I bought two new sets of fog lights and one would only work and now on the second set they both don''t work. I tried changing relays but that didn't work. Would changing the headlight knob switch thing help the problem?

I know this thread is kinda old but I fixed my switch by opening it up and soldering a piece of 18 gauge wire across where they put a flimsy piece of brass that will not make contact after a while. Be careful if you open you're switch. Do not take front knob off or else small parts and springs will become permanent parts of the interior. I did this but as luck would have it I was able to get it back together.

If you open the back cover you will see 2 contacts fixed to a silver round hold down. This holds the brass contacts in place. You can rebend them to make better contact, or do as i did and solder a piece of 18 gauge wire about a half inch long with rounded ends across this contact point. You will retain the use of the switch and it will function as normal. I should have taken pictures but I didn't. Enough requests and I'll pull the switch back out and take pictures.
