Default Rear fog light not working

My back fog isnt working. When i flick the switch, no light appears on the dash either.
Is it a fuse?

No there is no dash light, only on the button itself.

Right been outside to look. Nothing is happening.

When i initially looked there was a wire out from the light socket, which i pocked back in again. (The wire from the fog light).
But i looked at the socket in the car, which the light plug into, and there is no wire to connect with the one i just plugged in. (Hope that made sence).

Is there supposed to be a wire there?

Going by your View My Scooby, you have a 94 UK Turbo.
Do you have standar rear lights, or STi ones? STi ones have the bootom half in a white clear plastic, rather than orange. If you do have them, it might explain it as they don't have foglights.

The wiring had been adapted. The fog light wire had a crimp on the end.
You can see it in the second picture. I just plugged the fog light wire into that, and not into the connector.

Was such an easy fix that i overlooked.
