When I bought my 98 SE both of the fogs were burnt out, so I just relpaced them thinking nothing of it. 2 years later I have gone through countless pairs of H3's in order to keep them running. After awhile I checked the fuse under the hood, and it was burnt out, so I switched it, however, they kept burning out.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so what did you do?
help,
thanks

did you check the wiring harness?

There is most likely a short somewhere. My old VW would burn headlight bulbs over and over. They didnt last 3 weeks. In the end my boy found a short, fixed it and it never gave me a problem again.

Try wrapping the wires in electrical tape so that they cannot hit one another and short themselves out.
I had one that kept going out and I did this.....it has been quite a few months lasting now.

my passenger foglight always goes out. somehow, water gets in there, and when i disconnect the connectors, there is water inside of it. now i just wrap it in electrical tape, and havent had a problem since.

yep...electrical tape will fix the problem....

And make sure you are turning the lights on/off with engine running. Avoid voltage/amperage spikes. SAme thing happens with intermitant shorts.

i tried tape and it worked for about 3 weeks and my drivers side went off again...im going to try again wit tons of electrical tape now.
thought i put enough, i put quite a bit...but at least i singled it out to drivers side. no one i know wants to check the whole wire to see if theres any other issue...hopefully i get it to work now for good.
