Cool

check for power upto the back of the fog lamp, if power , then bulbs are bad. If no power check relay and switch.

They are designed to turn on with the low beam lamps also switched on, only. Just a gentle reminder, as I'm sure you're aware.
High beams; switches them off... parking lamps; switches them off... no lamps on; switches them off... This is a safety design, I've been advised..

Just pull the bulbs and use a multi tester to check for power to the socket/bulb holder.
