Default Disco II: Fog Light Question

I recently replaced a bulb for the fog light on my 2000 Disco II. Is there a fuse for the fog lights? After I put the new bulb in (driver side) I went to test it and it doesn't come on. I get the red/orange light when I activate the switch. The passenger side fog light works fine.

front ot rear? I assume by read light you mean rear. I had a rear out and when I changed the bulb I noticed some damage to the socket.

Captain,

I'm talking about the front fog light. But, when you turn the switch on on the dash it lights up GREEN when it's working properly and lights up RED when it's not working properly. The bulbs in the rear turn indicator/rear fog light are brand new. I replaced them both last week.

Yes, there is a fuse for the front fog lights. It is the #3 fuse under the hood, 15amps

Captain,

I stand corrected. You are right about the GREEN light controlling the front fog lights and the RED light controls the rear fog lights.

My apologies

Jared,

Thank you for your reply. I will check out the fuse tomorrow.

You mention ONE works fine. I would look for a loose connection at the light. If you have a Volt Meter, check for voltage at the plug. If nothing, time to search backwards for power.

I do have a voltage meter, but I have no idea how to use it.

If one is working and not the other, I highly doubt a fuse is the issue. If that was blown neither would work. It is most likely the socket.
