well update after almost a month I decided to look for the problem. I pulled the part out where our sunroof switch is n our foglight switch, and everything looked fine. I disconnected the wires that go to the foglight switch and just took out the switch. Disassembled the switch and found out thats where the smell was coming from. So my switch burnt out, idk y idk how. Luckily my friend had an extra so I just replaced it and now it works again

That's your issue right there. Get rid of the egay swith and replace the switch and harness under the dash with an OEM one. It'll save you headaches later.

If you turn off the switch before getting out, you'll be fine. I have the same mod and tend to forget to turn off the fogs prior to getting out. It is bad since the ballast and bulb aren't designed to withstand the quick flash that halogens can take. You'll get burnt bulbs pretty quick and it'll defeat the purpose of the longevity of the HIDs.

this is a sweet mod but everytime i get out the car i have to double check and make sure that the switch is off

I just accept the fact that I have inexpensive bulbs and ballasts, so I really don't care that they flash. I don't bother turning my fogs off and they've worked for about a year now. I'm sure it's not good for the bulbs, but I'll buy another set of $10 bulbs on eBay when these ones die. They've lasted longer than most halogen bulbs I've put in my fog lights.
Anyway, if you really wanted to, you could add a relay to disable your fog lights when your car is off. I know that both of you guys are smart enough to figure it out.

Obviously, I'm not too worried about it now.
