Default Fog Light Woes + OBDII/OBDII Questions (image heavy)

Alright, I've owned this car for almost a week now, and I still cannot get my front factory fog lights to turn on.

Background information on the car:
1994 850 T5 (Canadian Model - DRL's)
180,000kms (111,000 miles)
Mint besides my fog lights, and the car needing a detail job to revive my HORRIBLY oxidized paint.

So, I'm using pictures to help describe what I've tried so far.



EDIT - I hit the wrong button and accidentially posted this...I'll update it when I'm finished testing everything. Sorry Guys.

Alright, so with the car on, this is my light 'setup:'

With it configured like that, my headlights, rear fog lights, and front fog lights should be functioning, correct? (everything is on, except for my front fogs...still)

Secondly, I checked my fuse box, and plug 18. The plug was blank (threw a 15A fuse in it), and my label stated it was a blank spot as well. (odd..)

Annd, finally, I found this in my glove box - this is a housing for the front Fog Light, right?:

Now, for the OBD question. AFAIK, 93-95's were OBDI, and 95-96's+ were OBDII, right?

Were some split years, with functioning OBDI and OBDII ports?? My 94 has both ports, both of which pull codes. I've personally watched an autoshop pull codes off of my OBDII port, and i've personally pulled codes/reset my CEL and Service lights from my OBDI port.

As per the ports;

Thoughts? This seem right for a 94?


Oh, one final question, is there a write up on fixing the illumination for the sunroof switch? Mine has burned out.

Thanks!
