Better Luck Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Anyone have any ideas why my fog lights wont wor? In the manual it says they only work with low beams, I have made sure the light switch is on, I have the headlight switch in auto and I have the fancy self-adjusting headlight package switch in the on position. Tried with car in drive, park, engine on to no avail. Perhaps a blown fuse. Going to take it to the dealer on Monday to have a look. I am not that dumb!

Sounds right assuming it's dark enough to have the headlamps on in auto. Do they work when the headlight switch is moved to the next notch--headlamps on versus the auto position?
Better Luck Posted November 16, 2008 Author Posted November 16, 2008 No they don't work in either auto when it is dark out or in manual.
Jim Clark Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Sounds like you're doing everything right. You can check for a blown fuse easy enough yourself. They may even have spares in the fuse box.
SOMEONE ELSE'S GOT MY NAME Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Are you talking fog lamps? . . . or are you talking daytime running lights (DLR's)
Better Luck Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 Sorry for the delay in follow-up. The problem was a blown relay. The part was replaced under warranty and they are working fine now. Wish they would have found this during the Certified Pre-owned inspection. But the upside is that I got to experience the service department at my dealership and damn was I impressed!
silvercorvette Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 I noticed a problem with the fog lights also. Mine work as they were intended to work, but in my opinion they should work independently of the headlights, the lexus fog lights aren't real fog lights. Real fog lights are located lower to the ground. Regular lights reflect off the fog and are ineffective, but properly designed light are aimed below the fog layer and are able to provide better visibility in fog. Having them at the same height as the headlights is poor design, having the headlights on at the same time is plain stupid
