Default DA Elecrical Problem Pt 2

93 Integra LS

Okay, here's my situation: I was on my way home form work a couple days ago and noticed that my driving lights didn't seem as bright as they normally are. So I get home and notice that my driver's side foglight is out. I figured the bulb had just blown so I replaced it. Still nothing. Then I noticed that my driver's side side-marker isn't on either. I probed the wires going to the foglight and the side marker and there's no juice. My passenger lights work fine. Im confused as to how do the passenger side lights work and the driver side light won't when they are on the same fuse. All useful input will be appreciated.

Okay. Forget troubleshooting. It's a short in the wire somewhere, so I'm just gonna replace the wires. Anybody know what type of wire I should use or what gauge wire?

How far are you running the wires and at what amperage?

I'm assuming I only need to run a little over two feet of wire at factory amperage.

16 or 14 gauge should be good.
