Uhh... pull the tape out and measure it?
What's in the conduit now, and where does the conduit go?


The conduit is from a Pull Box to a Driveway pillar. Nothing in it now. We
want to Light the Driveway Lights, though cant seem to figure out how to get
there from here, The Fish tape does not come out anywhere to connect up to
the lights.


Yes but if you're using a wire fish tape, then you shove it in one end
until it hits something, then you pull it out and measure how much
tape went into the conduit. That tells you how far away the blockage
is, and with any luck, you'll be able to figure out roughly where.
(this assumes no bends that you don't know about.)

Then you'll know where to dig, or what to take apart to clear it.
Have you tried running the tape from the first pillar? That
would give you another data-point.
