Is there something wrong with my Fog Lights?
This is probably the third set I have bought. The first two was a 100w so I understand why it blew. But this one I bought off ebay the mtec one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6777
well anyways this one has a 55w that produces a 100w. I don't understand why it blew after 2 months? I changed my fuse to a 10amp so that shouldn't be a problem.

Well, it could be you
What I mean is, when you put in a bulb, you should make sure to not handle the bulbs with your bare hands. The grease from your fingers could get on the bulb and make them get too hot when operating. They eventually burn out early. Whenever I put bulbs in, I always rub a cloth on them that was soaked in rubbing alcohol to make sure no residue is left on the bulb.

send it back.
also, aftermarket H3 foglights SUCK.
most people install them properly and they last 2 months.
just get stock bulbs.
