Default both HID fogs out?

I installed HID fogs about 2 years ago and about 6 monthes ago, my drivers side fog went out. I replaced both bulbs with 6Ks, I originally had 8K. The both worked fine for about 2 monthes and now they are both out. They don't turn on, is it possible for both to go at the same time or do you think its a fuse? Please help.

check the fuse first, it's possible that it blew.

whoa strange.. i had this same problem too! Only the passenger fog wasn't working so I took my car to my local VIP shop here and he said it was a bad set up (both bulb and ballast on the passenger side were no good). It was only on the car for about 6 months. Forgot what brand it was but all I know was it was 6k. I ended just buying a whole new set from V-Led 3k. He said, there were over all better in quality. Had it on for a month now and use it everyday rain or shine. So far so good..
