HID fogs lights won't work- Help!

Alright, I have a 2004 F250 5.4 gasser, with the most compact fog lights you can get, and my license plate bracket was just as much a pain to take off so I opted to take the grill off. If you've done this you know what I'm talking about.
I installed HID heads and fogs tonight, fogs were a to install.
Anyway, the headlights worked fine, high beams as well. The fogs however did not work. Here is a list of what I checked:

1) High beams were in off position.
2) #43 10A fuse was not blown.
3) Regular bulbs still work.
4) Turned on high beams, then turned on fogs, still nothing.
5) Truck keys was on the ON position.

This is a plug and play kit, as most fogs are you just plug into existing harness. Someone mentioned possibly unplugging the fog light harness under the intake? Anyone know where that is?? Also found where someone said reverse the plug and plug it in the other way on both, maybe the kit was wired wrong. I will try these two things tomorrow but anymore input is appreciated.

I really wouldn't think that both ballasts are bad, but who knows!

Just installed HID in my 2005 and they don't work either. I had to get an H10 relay harness off of ebay and that got them working. Cost all of $10.
