They are controlled from the BECM, possibly the data field for the fogs has been corrupted and will need re-setting on diagnostics or maybe you fitted the wrong fuse box.

Diagnostics I'm afraid, you need to check that the fog lights are activated in the BECM, that's assuming you fitted the correct fuse box, there are several different types.
If you look at RAVE, you can trace the wiring to the connectors at the BECM and test with a meter that the signal is getting there from the switch and also if the output to the fogs is working.

You should always fit a new fuse box with the same part number as the old one, however I can't see a fuse specific to the fog lights as they are switched by the BECM. If you look in RAVE, it shows the switch which applies a ground to the BECM input when operated, there are then 2 outputs from the BECM, one for the left fog light one for the right.
No point in guessing, you need to put a meter on the connectors at the BECM and check what happens when you switch on. The alternative is as I said before, diagnostics.
Looking a bit further, there is a bulb fail warning, so if there was a wiring or bulb open circuit, you would get the error message, so I'm pretty sure the problem is in the BECM, somehow the function has been switched off.

Whilst I have no reason to question you Tony, but with the Diesel, you may have to make provision for the Gearbox oil cooler....
Yes whilst it is not recommended that you fit fogs to the diesel, the fact remains that they can be fitted. If so, must be switched on in BECM. My diesel has fogs but also has a vented bumper cover, so it can be done. As the OPs appears not to be a diesel, he mentions SE/HSE not DSE/DHSE it did not come into the equation.
Six at last count, you need to correct one for your VIN number.
