Answer
Hi Jay -

Do you know if you are getting power to both fixtures? Turn the headlights on and check the leads both to the headlight, and fog light. The headlight should have 2 of the three wires "hot" when you have the high beams on. Use a 12V light probe type tester.

If you are getting power to the unit, then it could be a bad ground, or the socket, assuming the bulb is OK.

If you are not getting power, then it probably is the turn signal switch.

Are you getting power to the fuses?
