Fog lights 2017 Mirage SE

[VespaGoGo]

I tried the fog lights for the first time tonight on the new car. Didn't notice a difference, so when I got home I got out and looked. They don't come on. The notification in the instrument cluster illuminates like they're on, but no light from the actual lights. I've turned the switch off and on, switched to bright and back in the hopes something would trigger....nothing. Am I missing something?

You are turning on the main switch so your headlights are on too right? Then you can turn the fogs on.

Yep. Lights on dim....turn on fog lights via switch...nothing.

Hmm.. and the fog light dash light goes on and off with the flipping of the switch? As dumb as it may be, make sure the fuse isn't blown or loose, and check to see that your bulbs are plugged in correctly and not blown itself.

You should get it checked at your dealer.
Those are also your daytime running lights (at least they are on my 17 SEL) so if they're not coming on it's a safety issue.

We don't have drls as standard equipment in the USA, but if they are installed, they replace part of the chrome fork. Mine came installed as a dealer added option. So the fogs won't matter with drl anything, but I agree, take it in if you cannot figure it out.

Oh.. Hey that's cool. I would love to add that to mine.
I've got similar lighting accents in the headlights but In Canada the fogs come on as drls.
Next spring I wanna see if I can delete the drl portion of the fogs and have the accents come on instead. Adding those in the chrome fork might be the ticket.

Apologies to OP.
Don't mean to hijack your thread.

Your car is under warranty, so take it back to fix

I found the problem. I looked in the manual and found the fuse location (see pic), location F6. I opened the hood, marveled at the massive powerhouse in front of me (4 more horsepower than my 2015!), then inspected the fuse block. See the fuse block pic below...there was no fuse in the location for the fog lights!!! A quick trip to Auto Zone for a replacement 15A fuse and, voila...I now have fog lights. I guess it was a factory oversight.
