Fog lights quit working

I am completely stumped on this.... Foglights just quit working completely.

I used to have a 55w 6000K HID kit in my foglights for more than two years, no problems. Finally decided to switch it out, and installed a 35w 5500K kit a month ago, everything was fine for a while.

Couple of days ago both of my fog-lights just stopped working together.... So logical assumption is that it's the fuse. Dug around, finally located the foglight fuse next to the battery, pulled it out - the fuse is fine.

I find it extremely unlikely that both of the bulbs/ballasts can blow out together at once, especially on a month old kit... If that fuse is fine, what else could it be? Is there another fuse somewhere?

The car is a 2010 G37 sedan

Thanks in advance

What brand is the kit? Lot of HID kits are a hit/miss.

I figured out, the fuse in fact turned out to be bad, even though it looks good...

Weirdest thing ever, looked completely intact. Someone on FB recommended I swap it out anyway, so I did, and fog lights magically started working again.

If the kit you installed came with a wire harness ... Try replacing the relay.

No advice, just wanted to recommend projectors either way. HIDs in the fogs are underwhelming without them imho.
