2012 Frontier SV 4x4, I bought the oem fog lights from Nissan dealer, I followed the instructions replaced the turn signal switch, installed the fog lights in bumper. The fog lights don't lite, everything else works OK, headlights, turn signals, high beams; but no fog lights. Is there something I'm overlooking? a fuse or relay? I would appreciate any input here. Or is this just Murphy's Law?

Thanks

Bill in North Ridgeville, ohio

This may seem stupid, but the headlights need to be on low
beam for the fog lights to work. Previous years it was plug
and play, no fuses or relays. Were there any instruction or
links for instructions with the lights?

I followed instructions, headlamps on low beam, still no fog lights. Dealer that sold me the kit says the headlamp switch might be defective.

Fog lights don't work at all, with or without headlights on or off. But I do appreciate the input.

Thanks

Ok so you might have to put them on an independent switch but you
can make this happen ground the black wire and put the white wire to a
switch then add a wire that goes to 12v with the key on
