If you're want help, you need to detail exactly how you wired the fog lights. Include pictures.

You wired something directly to a constant 12v, no **** its going to drain your battery.

Is this an aftermarket fog light kit? I am going to assume that it is, considering the OEM version was discontinued a decade ago.

Those aftermarket switches are notoriously badly designed. I've seen where even a properly wired switch causes drain because it is shorting out inside the switch.
