Question Fog Lamps Stopped Working

Ok, so all I can think is, that something happened possibly when I hooked up my ipod adapter a week ago. But my fog lamps no longer come on when I push the button. However the stupid little button still lights up green when I turn it on. Could I have blown a fuse? No error message in the display center either, and both bulbs are visibly fine.

What should I check? I'm completely lost on how to trouble shoot this scenario. Thanks guys.

That's why I can't figure out what the deal would be off the top of my head. Figure I am going to have to trouble shoot.

Burnt out fog bulbs dont throw an error light, did you try new bulbs?

I understand its unlikely but not entirely impossible. But how dumb would you feel if you went through all these causes and it was just burnt bulbs? I try to eliminate the easy stuff 1st ya know?
