You obviously have a bad connection somewhere, most likely in the switch. Probably a cold solder joint that becomes disconnected as it gets colder. A visit to the dealer is in order.;)

Its been 16 in the early mornings here and I haven't noticed any problems with the fog lamps.

Mine work in -30 degrees celcius. Use them everyday, and every time I turn on my headlights. Bought the car back in May.

anti-light gremlin ?
I don't think I have the same problem as far as I know, but with all the frozen grit on the fog lamps, its hard to tell if they are indeed on (I rarely run around the car when its running in freezing temps)

the dealer called me back and said that the whole switch for the fogs and high beams is no good, so they ordered an new part and should be ready Monday, i hope!!

Well this may sound dumb, and it is to me:o the dealer put in a new switch and nothing worked.. so i put the stock fog and headlights in and........:wow:all lights work now, i check out the after market bulbs and what did i find after very close inspection? both only the high beams were bad, even the dealer checked the bulb and found nothing. they were going to charge me for the time and labor because they are not a stock part. oh well back to the yellowish color for now!:zav:

Which "aftermarket" bulbs ? It might provide a warning for other modifiers.
