I did check on the connection. even changed all the wire the HID im mean HID bulb and the ballet, it still the same. The one way to check now is the fuse, but I dont know which one is for the driver side fog

I don't think there is a fuse for just one fog light, I think it's for both. I had installed HID in my fog lights and while it rained my ballasts got wet and blew my fog fuse. I believe it's the box in the engine bay. Super tiny fuse, had to buy the Multi pack at the autopart store. Ran about $7-8. Check the fuse, easiest check you can do.

OP before you go fuse searching do a very small and a common thing. Take the non working side ballast and bulb switch to the working side. That will DEFINALTY give you an answer of whats going on. You can also switch bulbs around and ballast to actually locate the problem. If everything works perfectly on one side then you gotta look into the plug, wires, fuses ETC ETC. I just saved you a headache you owe me a beer

Switch sides, Passenger side working? Take out everything and put driver side in there. If you put brand new ballast and the bulb its most likely something else but try this first.

Well you can check for blown fuse but i doubt that the problem, you would need special tester to see if power is going to the plug. I would suggest an electric shop to have a look at it.
