Mine kept doing that.
I asked on here a while back and someone told me to take it apart, wrap the whole wiring in electrical tape, as it was probably hitting something and shorting itself out.
I did that quite a few months ago, and I have not had a problem since.
Try it out....it is not hard.

I think somehow, it kept some of the wires from touching and burning out the bulbs.
Couldn't hurt.....it worked for me.
Hope it works for you.

My passenger side is burnt out. Anyone have a writeup for replacing fog lights?

Check the socket. burned or corroded contacts will shorten lamp life. Also when replacing the lamp never never never touch the lamp with your bare fingers. Check what every one else said too and check voltage at the socket.

Are 55-85 watt bulbs going to melt wire harness?

my passenger always blows. I changed my passenger bulb like 10 times this past year and driver side like 3 times. This is a very know problem so can't we complain and make nissan do some recall or something?

What are they going to do in a recall?
I mean, it is not something faulty that is mechanical that they can just go in and fix. It is probably the whole design of the lamps. I don't know if that would work.

Try the electrical tape thing that I suggested. It has been working for me pretty well.
