only way to tell if its burnt out is take it out and look at it,or get a new set,replace and see if they work

Well it might be cause of the fact that the highbeams are drawing too much power. I have my halos wired to my parking lights so they draw power from them.

The highbeams have a cutout built in so they disable the foglights when they are on because they draw so much power (i assume).

I would try wiring it up to the parking lights and turn on the highbeams and seeing if that fixes your issue.

Or disable the halos and test the high beams, cause it may just be a burnt filament on both of them. It happens, might just be a coincidence.

NJ State law requires the fogs to go out when the high beams are on. Back in the day I would run fogs independant of head lights.

After saying all that I want to get angle eyes for my Stang, but I was afaid it would make me a BMW wanna be..... Any thoughts on that? Who makes the best setup?

you shouldnt worry about what other people think as long as you like them, i have hid projectors with halos and led tail lights and i dont care if people dont like them, i do. As far as the best setup i cant help you on that because mine came in all together with the headlights

I had this problem with my car, the high beams burnt out. I tried using my brights one night and all my headlights were off, so my dad checked. Fuses and relays were all fine, just the high beam setting on the bulbs burnt out.

And he even tried them in his mustang and my sisters, it's weird but it happens.
