Can you explain more on how its not working? Also what year is your ES300?

Possible answers: Are they working bulbs? Did you turn it on? Are they plugged in? Are the fuses still good?

Provide more information so people can help you.

Also check to see if you hear a clicking noise coming from the area near the driver pedals, if not, it is your foglight relay located down there

Measure the voltage with a multimeter at the bulb terminals to rule out wiring issues.

The low beam headlights must be on for the fog lights to turn on.

this might sound stupid...but when I bought my 93 lexus it took me a long time to discover that I had to rotate the little inside part of the headlight control forward on the headlight switch, to activate the foglights. easy now, but had no idea at the time. if you're new to the car, maybe that's the issue.

Check everything mentioned earlier, but also don't rule out bad bulbs. I also thought mine were in good condition, until I replaced them.
