If the fog light is crushed, it's likely the fuse is blown. Check that first. Do NOT under ANY circumstances put a larger fuse in there! Use what is recommended.
Actually, if you find it blown, you need to replace the crushed light before you even try to replace the fuse. If it's shorted, you'll just blow another fuse.
If the fuse is NOT blown, you need to see if you have power getting to the lights themselves.

Visual inspection doesn't cut it. Get a test light or a meter. Even a $10 Harbor Freight or Wal-Mart meter will do what you need. You cannot hope to troubleshoot an electrical problem without tools.
