1999 Volvo S70 Fog lights Trouble shooting

I recently installed fog lights on my Volvo, but cannot get them to light up. I do know that one of the bulbs are bad, does this cause them not to work at all? Installed the relays and jumper, but still no dice! Any help/suggestions please!

Cheers,
Joseph

I don't have fog lights and my car is older, so I can't offer up specific advice, but would it be possible and have you had a chance to measure the voltage at the switch, relay and lamp sockets to check that the voltage is present each step of the way? This might help pinpoint the source of the problem. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. Good point and will look to do that. Additionally, I am not getting the switch light up or register on the dash. I hear an audible click when engaging the fog light switch. For my model year I only need the "J" jumper and switched it out with another in my engine bay to ensure it was not a bad "J" jumper. Any additional ideals out there?

I know this post has been dead for awhile now, but i'm having the exact same issue. I just installed fog lights on my 1999 S70 GLt and I can't get them on. I put new bulbs in and i'm still not getting the lights on or the dashboard light to come on. Did you ever find a fix for your issue?
