"F/FOG LIGHT" error...help please

"F/FOG LIGHT" error. Does anyone know what this means? My fogs were working and next thing you know it isn't and I have this message. I haven't had the chance to check the fogs myself, but I just got this and am wondering if anyone can help me out. The owner's manual says to go to a BMW dealership. Thanks in advance.

P.S. - if this post shows up twice I'm sorry. I tried posting earlier but it didn't show up.

Usually when i get it my connection is bad on the wiring or the bulb is out. The previous owner of my car put the euro projector fogs in and wired it with crimps on the original harness so they come loose. i ended up taking the crimps off ad soldering the whole thing. no more messages!

Ok, I checked the fog lights and as much of the connections as I know but still the same thing. Any other possible solutions? Also, anyone know how much it would cost for a total reworking of the electrical system? It seems that the electrical system in that car is pretty bad. Thanks in advance for any help.

could be a bad light control module. try getting the car reprogrammed, if that doesn't
work put in a new light control module and code

Ok, you will not believe this...I have actually left this little problem alone for a while since I've been pretty busy with all the projects at work and working overtime. But tonight I decided to take devinwwu's advice. Voila! Damn blown fuse number 7! Such an easy fix and the manual that came with the car says to go to the dealer when that error flashes! Thanks devinwwu! And thank you all for taking the time to read and post suggestions!
