Fog Lights giving grief...
I don't seem to be getting the life out of fog lights that I think I should. I replaced both lights at the beginning of Feb. and within 2 weeks one was out again. I usually get 2 to 6 weeks before one goes out. It is not always the same one. I don't handle the bulb by the glass at any time during the installation. Any Ideas???

it could be possible that you have a bad connection or something requiring more current than should be going through the circuit. Other than that, is there any water getting into the lights? what kind of bulbs are you using?

I have the same problem but it'* with Silverstars.
My guess would be wait until another burns out and check for possible shorts.

The stock wiring is only good for 27 watts, if you have aftermarket lights the voltage drop might be too much.
Here'* a link to upgrade your stock wiring, good idea and cheap too
