Ok so those male connectors you have pictured are supposed to plug into the female that the stock fog light boot and plug connects to.
Ya it should just be plug and play, but the first check would be to get a circuit tester (the thing that looks like a poker that has a light bulb in it and a alligator clip coming out of it). Put the alligator clip on the frame somewhere, and put the poker in the plug and the light should light up.
That will confirm you have power to the plug. Then plug in the plug, and do the same thing at the female connectors in the fog light boot. If there is power there, then the problem is most likely all the corrosion (white stuff in the background of your picture).
These fog lights were a poor design because they always get water and junk in through the hole, and the corrosion will cause the contact points not to conduct well. A steel brush and some vinegar helps to get that stuff clean, then some rubbing alcohol to get it to dry cleanly.
If there is no power to the plug, then you could replace the relay under the hood, or replace the turn signal stock.
