Need Help: I f'ed up my fog lights.

Hi all.

I got my in-deck sound receiver today and I put it in in the late afternoon. It is totally awesome. Nothing really really fancy, but it sounds nice. Anyways... after installing it, I realized that I f'ed up my fog lights. What I think I did was dislodge one of the cables that either controls the fogs, or powers it. Probably when I tried to get extra length on the antenna cable thingy.

I was wondering if you guys know any shops that could fix my fog lights.

I am driving a 1997 Impreza L. I think the fog lights are aftermarket, and were added on after the Subaru was bought.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I WANT MY FOG LIGHTS BACK!!

Thanks.

Did you try checking the fuse for the fogs first? Maybe you just blew a fuse.

Yeah. I am pretty positive that I accidentally pulled a wire that I wasn't suppose to pull.

All fixed.

When I was installing the new in-dash system, I didn't port over one of the cable. It is really weird where they put them. I didn't actually install the fogs. My aunt did like a zillion years ago.
