Default HID problem

Hi there, I've installed HID bi-xeno headlight on my 96 GS, and I've a problem. Everything goes well, but when I push the fog lamps button with the low-beams on, the headlight switches to hi-beam by itself and the blu indicator light comes on, and of course the fog light didn't work.
When I push the fog lamps button with only parking lamps on everything is ok..
Any advice ?
Thank you

Upgrade your fog and parking light fuse to the next higher fuse. I think they are 15s so upgrade them to 20 or 25. If that doesn't work get a new harness and where did you get your kit from?

I bought the kit on E-bay, is a Philips kit. I've also the xeno fog light to mount, before try to upgrade the fuse, I'll try to mount them.
Anyway I spoke on Saturday with friend of mine, and he were talking that fog light is a negative command.... I'm not expert about that, but I hope this could be helpful to the guy who do this work
