Have you checked the relay? There is also a fuse, could be either...

And I am going to assume they did work at one time and are not trying to be added on at the time?

^^ what Weedahoe said. You CANNOT add foglights and make them work without having the dealer turn on the circuit vis starscan tool. just because the wiring may be there doesn't mean the circuit is live.

Assuming they are factory... Does the foglight illumination icon appear on the Instrument cluster when you turn the headlight control to parking lights and press it in?
No, then your switch could be bad
Yes, then you must have a short at the bulbs or they are BOTH burnt out. Have you checked to see if the bulbs are indeed good?

does anyone ever run the fog lights whenever the head lights are on?
