Do your tail lights and license plate light illuminate?

If not, check the 15 amp tail light fuse........................

If the fuse is okay, then the tail light relay must be checked.

Beyond that it's wiring, connectors and in the end the ECM.

The "HAZ" Fuse is under the hood with the engine, the "TAIL" fuse is 15 amps and is under the dash.

If you tapped the parking light with the 2ea. 100w fog lights that is 200 additional watts to the parking lights. The fog light would pull an additional 15 amps ABOVE the normal parking lights. An isolation relay should be used to power the fog lights, The parking lights should control a relay and the relay controls the fog lights power, fused of course.

Thanks I will have to check and see if the license plate lights up along with the tails thanks nj I forgot to mention that I did smell like something was burning the day I realized my lights were out I hope I didn't fry anything if I can't fix it myself I'll just put back my stock bulbs and take it to the dealer they're the ones who tapped my oem fogs to my park lights I have extended warranty but I'm not sure if this sort thing would be covered.

Forgive me for asking, but in doing these retro fits on newer cars, wouldn't it be less time consuming to tap into the light switch to a relay that takes minimal amperage to close and then run a fat fused wire from the battery, through the relay, to the lights? I must be missing something, but by tapping the oem wiring there is a better than even chance that you are going to screw up and toast the car itself(fire), the ecm, or other components.
