on my sisters ex's truck the relays went out, try bypassing the relay with some extra wire (dont wire it in, just stick it on with some electrical tape) either go straight from the batter to the light or go throught the switch if you want. Also check your grounds, have had a ground come unloose before

Check your electrical connections for mud and water. Thats how one of my horns went out, because the connection still had mud and alittle bit of water in it, sprayed it with electrical cleaner hooked it back up and everything worked like new. If that dosent do it then check the switch also.

you probably blew both of the bulbs, take them out and check...when contacted with water they tend to blow right away.

well then my only guess is maybe one of your wires has been crimped or bent. What i would do is take and straight wire one of the lights to the battery and see if it works, if it doesnt its the light and i would just take it apart and see whats messed up if its the light

bad switch? try just bypassing the switch and touching the wires together. other than that its just checking for anything grounding out checking for crimped wires
