Battery died, now foglight problem.

Right so I forgot my fog lights on, battery died. I boosted it and drove the car home. When I got home, I realized that one of my fog lights wasn't working anymore. I have HID's so I checked my ballasts to make sure that no wires had come undone, and the bulb doesn't look burnt (it's brand new I put them in 2 weeks ago). Still, nothing works..... any ideas ? has this happened to anyone before ?

thanks !

You should have wired the fogs so they turn off with the ignition.

Allow the battery a few drive cycles to fully recharge, if the problem persists, switch the ballast to see if a ballast, bulb, or wiring is the problem.

yeah i tried wiring it to close when the car closes, but after screwing around for 9 hours I decided just to hotwire them on (might revise that decision now), the harness that came with my kit was really not the right thing lol (ebay screws you sometimes) anywho.
ill put my battery on a charger for a few hours and get it back to max. I just dont see how it could work... then the battery dies... and all of a sudden only one side works :S I dont think it's a power thing seeing as one side works flawlessly, but I dont have any other ideas...

If u swap it with the other working side, does it still work? Try the bulb first. Then the ballast, then ballast with bulb.. Last time something like that happened to my hid it was the wiring. Got new wire and everything work..
