Depress the front fog light switch on the dash and then put headlights on main beam. See if the PIAAs come on.

Just to add, the PIAA are not fog lights, they're driving lights. They are supposed to operate in the way described above. ie when you're driving down those dark country roads and you cant see ****, you stick your main beams on and the PIAAs come on too, and turn night into day. (The fog lamp switch stays in the on position 24/7).
