I had the same problem with my GS400. I think i have the answer! The headlight switch which is also your blinker selector gets loose and you need to push it back towards the steering wheel. I noticed this, after i make a turn with my signal back to center the signal lever flies back into its normal position. When it goes back it pulls the fog light switch away from the steering wheel. All you need to do in make sure the lever is pushed towards the steering wheel tightly.

when high beam is on, fog lights does not work. when turn on fog light switch and hear noise, means that the fog light relay is working. try checking the bulbs and the fuse. gl.

It's funny that on the 98 GS you can just plug and play HIDs to headlights and foglights and they'll work but on the 02 GS3 you can't just plug and play, I tried to run HIDs for head & foglights but fogs won't turn on. Some say get a harness and some say, just reverse the plug and it'll work (No thank you to this way because i won't want to fry any electrical in my GS)
im actually running 6. one factory set and 2 aftermarket. one for the fogs and one for the high beams. i think im just gonna get the harness

So what i did was got a little file and sanded the rust off and plugged it back it and it's working now. I will be getting a Harness though for the fog when I install HIDs for the fog.
yeah i have never tapped them. i just turn them off and back on an they both work if they both didnt come on
