foglight harness not working

So last night as i was driving, i decided to take a corner hard and my fog light ballast came off ripping the wires from the one of the bulbs. i heard a clunking noise and i pulled over, to find my ballast on the streets. When i got home I tried to connect all the wires back together but that didn't work, so i switch ballast and that still didn't work. The ballast that fell off of my car still worked with the normal bulb. As I was working on how to fix the problem, by switching ballast and bulbs to each side, in the process my fog light harness stopped working as well. I plugged in my old fog light bulbs in and they didn't work. So to make sure that the fog light harnesses weren't working, I plugged the old fog light bulb into my other car's headlight and it did work. So anyone now how i might possibly fix my fog light harnesses? that's my main priority right now. I'm not really worried about the HIDs as much since they still have warranty on them and i can just buy some new bulbs for them.

how did your ballast end up on the street? do you not have the plastic under the bumper area?
