Are you sure the bulb isn't bad? because you might have to replace it.  If the right FL is in working condition, then it's not the fuze-----check your wire connections.  Also look at your L-foglight bulb really close to make sure it isn't burned out, I mean REAL-CLOSE.

Take your pick: the lamp, fuse 29, or the two-wire connector in the engine compartment. In the recent past, I've dealt with all three.

I had some corrosion in my housing from a cracked lens that kept mine from working.  I swapped it with a nice one and that fixed the problem.  The bulb was still good, if you can believe it.
