Fog Lights and Parking Light randomly went out?
Today as I was driving and i notice my fog lights (both left and right) and parking lights were not working after looking from the reflection from another car in front of me.....so i pull over and notice none othere those lights came on......only head lights......has this happen to anyone before.......can someone point me in the right direction to start narrowing down the problem?

Here's a couple of fuses to check.
Parking light fuse, # 60, 10 amp, under the hood by the battery, labeled TAIL LAMP.
Brake light fuse, # 2, 15 amp, in dashboard, top row, 2nd from left end.
Fog light fuse, # 6, 15 amp, in dashboard, top row, 6th from left end.

Great i need this information because my fog lights or parking lights dont come on, i just grabbed a fog light relay from a junkyard and some spare fuses. Is the maxima fuses the same as the I35?

Yes, the Maxima and I35 have the same wiring/circuitry for the fog lamps.
The problem intrigues me because the fog lights are not connected with the parking lights or the brake lights. The headlight circuit, specifically the relay, plays a part in the fog lights. My first guesses are that the headlight switch is is the problem.

If it were to be the headlight switch, it is an easy thing to change. It is more expensive than a relay, but from a junkyard, it is probably $5 - $10. And the Infiniti and the Maxima have the same switch.

ok kool thanks man for the advice. Gonna go mess with it today and see whats wrong with it. Well my fuses are good and the fog light relay is good, and the side marker lights work, so the bulbs themselves might be bad, are those h3 bulbs

I assume it is the same, but I really don't know.
Here is a link to a photo of an H3 lamp.

ok i just changed out my fog light bulbs on my i35 very easy to do, i did get the sylvania silverstars 55w bulbs, and now they work great, i also changed the other bulbs in the fog light housing, which im assuming are parking lights. But for some reason those lights dont work/come on even with new bulbs. Anyone have this issue?
