I installed the straight ones because they were the ones that fit right but I have no clue what the other ones are for or if I did something wrong. Also my truck is a 1997 Ford Ranger XLT stock.
You got ripped off. Those bulbs do nothing more than stock, and are actually probably worse than stuck. They are not bixenon lights like you think, reading an eBay description is very important. As the eBay description states, they are "Brand New Halogen Light Bulbs."

3.) Are HID Kits also compatable with fog lights? Or is it a seperate kit than the headlights?

Thanks!
1) HID kits are universal. HID bulbs are not.
2) Not sure
3) See #1. You can buy the same kit, just need to get specific bulbs for your fog socket.
