And if it is the bulbs, they're a pita to do.

It seems most likely that your bulbs are burnt out. It seems to me that the fog lights like burning out really quick. Ive had my car for 2 years and im on my third set of bulbs. GM should have made these suckers easier to change.

An alternative to the factory foglights.

If your sick and tired of replacing foglight bulbs and housings (I'm on my 3rd set of housings and they're toast) You may want to try the 1le grille inserts. You remove the foglight and bracket and just bolt these guys in.

There's a thread in the appearance section discussing this option.

1LE foglight delete

The total cost is somewhere around $10.00 considering a housing costs something like $70, (been a while since I checked) it may be worthwhile for some.

These things look surprisingly nice, matter of fact the featured car in the last issue of Chevy High Performace has these.

I do like the foglights and the way they look, but I've had it with replacing the bulbs and having the glass constantly break.
Just throwing this out there for anyone who's interested in the mod.
