HID Fogs help

okay, so i upgraded my fogs to HID and have them wired to a switch so I can run them by themselves. The other day I accidently left them on when I went to work and when I came back the battery was dead. After jumping the car, the fogs no longer work. any ideas as what could be wrong?

did you turn off the switch when jumping? If not, you may have fried the ballasts or the wiring that leads to them...

Do you have a fused relay harness for the fogs? You might have popped the fuse

If that's not it then you probably friend the balasts as cs said.

Yeah, but ballasts shouldn't cost you more than $50 nowadays.
