Maybe your switch is pooped?

The fog lights are fused and the box is under a panel front left as you sit on the bike.

Have you checked the bulbs first,

I think on my gsa the fuse box for the fogs is on the right side under a panel as I sit on the bike,

They were silly cheap so worth a punt. I'm impressed with the seller's service and the lights are great
They are narrow angle spots with just one LED chip but VERY bright. The light is concentrated by the narrow angle lens.
The supplied brackets won't work with the GSA light bar. You'll need to make bolt on U shape brackets.
Mine are now on the bike and a lot neater looking than the OEM lamps.
They make ok daylight markets but even better as main beam backup.
I intend to connect via an LED dimmer module (avoids dazzle) with a relay to set them fully bright with main beam. I'll post the circuit diagram when I get it working properly.

Bendy, thanks for the info and pics you're a champ
I'll order some later on tonight and give them a go.

The light body is machined from solid aluminium with a glass lens. The covers are aluminium sheet so appearance only but some stainless covers could be made and they would still be excellent value.
The wires are again good quality but very thin conductors so fiddly to solder. But overall I'm pleased with them.
