i know when i changed out my fogs to HID's, the kit came with a ballast.. i dont think u can just change out the bulbs, you might need a ballast also...

Does your CL allow you to turn on the fogs without the headlights? It sounds electrical, so my initial thought was that you just put the lights in "parking" mode, thinking the fogs will turn on with the switch, which they wont.

Did you remember to plug in power to the relays? When I put HIDs in my other car, I forgot to connect the relay to the existing headlight socket.

first, i would check to see if they are fuctional and wire them to the battery, I understand that they were working in your previous car but you never know, if they work hooked up to the battery, then most likely that you need to use a relay setup , reson is that the foglights usually take up 35watts each and HIDs ballasts start at 35watts and up, just my $.02
good luck
