turn your parking lights on, then pull your switch out to turn the fog lights on... can you hear the relay click?

good sign...

Can you take a multimeter or a test light to the socket that the bulbs go in?

with the key on, and the fog lights on, you should get a voltage across the terminals inside the connector. (around 12.6v with the engine off)

If this voltage isn't present, check your fuses (actually do that anyway).

how far under 10?

9.8? 1.5?

do your HIDs have any specs on them? My first guess is that you've burned up the relay or there is some other high current related failure.

Can you verify that the lights work, just not on your truck?
