    Default Fog lights out

    I noticed both my fog lights out today . I checked the fuse and its good but replaced it anyway to be sure. I think it's unlikely that both burned out at once .
    Any ideas ?

    I just took a quick look in the Owner's Manual (Page 149), and couldn't figure out which relay to inspect.
    Can you tell us which one we should be looking at for this?
    Thanks!

    I, too, noticed my fog lights wouldn't come on ... but only in the daytime. At night, they both come on! I've tested this a few times and get consistent results. It seems to me that fog lights will only come on when the bike senses it's night time. Call me crazy, but ...

    They aren't triggered by their switch AND the day/night sensor for the dash lights, are they?? Or have you (or the installer) inadvertently chosen a trigger source wire that is controlled by this sensor?? Does putting a 'black out' card or cloth over the analogue speedo & digital dash display let them come on in daylight/bright light conditions??

    Surely if BRP had intended this to be a feature we'd have heard about it before now?? Has anyone heard that? Or is anyone aware of the Spyders (of any model) having low-light sensing fog light activation??

    My engine has to be running for the fog lights to come on.

    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    Default Fog light switch

    My fog lights on always, 2014 RTL. I noticed them out 1 day on pre ride check. It turned out the switch had failed. Warranty replaced switch. Since then I replaced my headlamps and fog lamps with Xenon extreme LED lamps. Very bright and run cool 😎 with less draw,on battery.
