You have a REAR fog light switch. Check the owners manual.

The "fog light" switch over the headlight switch is for a rear fog light and turns on one rear red light for better visibility and does not use a brake light but is as bright.
The actual fog light switch for the front fog lights would be in the panel on the left of the steering wheel, next to the headlight switch. Many were pre-wired and when you pop off the black plastic blank you'll see a connector at the end of a harness hanging there. Under the bumper you should be able to see the end connector where it plugs into the fog lights lead.

The under bumper picture isn't real clear but it gives you an idea of what you're looking for.

Read the new owners thread and you should see a link to the on-line owners manual.
