If you have a multimeter turn the fogs on and off and check for voltage at the lamp connector to make sure your getting voltage at the fogs. Your headlights have to be on for your fogs to turn on if you haven't done the fog mod

I didn't see the video signal booster, and i think i need to wait on getting monitors its still out of my price range unless you know somewhere with good prices.

your gonna need a multimeter, I say this because the only way to make sure that the components you checked already are good is if there is power at the bulb when the switch is on

you said you got new bulbs, so it has to be the switch , a fuse or a relay. i highly doubt your wiring has been severed but you never know

alright man thanks for your help if you give me your price range and an idea of what you want i can look. (screen size, resolution, with or with out ir signal for wireless headphones, dvd player built in, etc.) i'd be glad to take a look for you and i put a few links in my old topic random qx4 pics.
