    I have a 2015 Tundra, I have replaced most of the lights with LED's. All I have left to do is the headlights and the fog lights. I started with the fog lights and found that they no longer work, I know, check the fuses. I checked and double checked every fuse in engine compartment and the fuse box under the dash, all the fuses are good. To be sure, I replaced all fuses that had anything to do with the fog lights, there is no power getting to the fog lights. Any ideas?

    Tried putting the stocks back in? This may sound dumb, but I've had it happen on some led bulbs f you place it in the wrong way (turn the bulb around so contacts are facing other way if that makes sense) the bulbs don't work. Just a thought.

    Could a relay have been shorted? I wouldn't think so though...i don't specialize in electric. @csuviper is pretty good with it though.

    Could be the LED bulbs your swapping in. Do what Sean said and swap them back to stock as double check. If all you did was swap bulbs and nothing else then it's a bulb or fuse or loose wire at the bulb housing.

    I know that the LED's I used liked a certain way. I Ohmed out all the bulbs first for continuity. One open micro solder then no current flow.

    Yes, stocks are back in and they don't work. I checked the plug itself with a meter and have zero power going to the fog lights.

    No mods, just changing bulbs. I know that the LED's use less power and sometimes cause the system to think a bulb is out, maybe this is related?

    Sounds like the fuse under the dash one you missed is out. I think you need to go back through the dash fuses again.
    15 amp fuse it should be

    I checked every single fuse and they are all good. I ordered a couple of relays to see if somehow they might have blown. I will see what happens when I get those.

    I am actually taking it in tomorrow to have TRD Pro suspension installed, they are going to troubleshoot the fog lights while they have it. I will post what they find.

    Tried putting duallys in as my fog lights. I plugged one in, it didn't work, so I went back to stock. Never touched the passenger side light. Now neither of them will turn on. Ughhhhh

    Thanks for the help!

    Had the same issue fog lights not working, bulbs are good, fuses work. The issue was the relay, located outside the fuse box, picture attached.
