Default Installed HIDs now fogs wont work.

I installed HIDs on my 03 GT and now my fog lights wont work with the head lights on and the high beam light stays on all the time. Anyone else had this problem?

Did you get the HIDS with the single beam or dual? Many HIDs dont come with high beams..

What that means is that for what ever reason the high beam power is ON, this activates the fog-lamp cut-off relay blocking them from turning on. You need to determine why the high beam power seems to be permanently on.

^ agreed

You have a wiring issue, but cannot figure it out from here

Go over ALL the details of the wiring and keep in mind the following things:

1. When the high-beams go on, the low-beams go off.
2. When the high-beams go on, the fog lights go off.

Go back over ALL of the connections and make sure they make sense. Sounds to me, you have a dual-HID bulb, as my pepe Bpoh has suggested. Are these HID's being installed in the OEM headlights?

You may have just swapped a wire. I did that to my HID's the first time I put them in. I had 3 wires because I had a hi beam on mine. I just had to switch the two wires that were on opposite sides and it worked fine after that.

Not to sure on the wire and bulb. If DDM tuning bulbs are bi-xenon then yes otherwise, I have no idea. There were 3 wires so it was pretty simple to figure out.

When you move the headlight switch to the high beam on position, do the fog and parking lights come on?
