as far as ive seen (and ive seen pretty much my whole vx stripped) ive never seen an in line fuse anywhere in the vx. probably aftermarket... which could be why your front fogs/driving lights dont work.. mine turn on with the tail lights

as for the flasher... i would say just go with in line resistors.. you only need to put them in the front or rear, not both.. i was working on spike's VX and he has an aftermarket flasher for LED turn signals and it makes all his turn signals funky and makes things flash that shouldnt be flashing too
