hi i just put in some blue bulbs i bought and they worked for about a day, and then a friend noticed the right side was out. so i thought well theyre just cheap (20$) ill take them back and itll be fine. so i take them out and put my origional stock bulbs in, which definately worked before, but the right side is still out. so im not sure but i think both sets of bulbs are fine...i must have done something and it shorted out? but i cant find the fuse on the diagram for fogs, and im pretty sure they would go through the same fuse as a pair...but one works and one doesnt :\ anybody know whats wrong? thanks

I would not put any of those after market blue bulbs, they get extermly hot. They might have burned out the wireing. You have check the socket, to see if it melted.

yeah the harness and all the wires seem to be okay on both sides, i was just in there 20 minutes ago. that would suck if it melted somewhere...wouldnt the fuse have popped before it got that bad? looks scrub with only 1 fog

get a flash light and look inside of the Socket. To see if there is something stuck in there, or broken off. Look inside of it carefuly,

okay so the bulbs were'nt fine i found out when i tested them all.
but they wer before i put them into my car. .im thinking the right fog light is burning bulbs out...
i used a circuit tester and it's getting power through the lamp housing up untill the bulb. so it must be the bulb. i took the left side bulb [working] and put it into the right and it worked..
with one stock blub working now, what realy confuses me is that i know atleast one of the other three bulbs was working absolutely when i took it out but now it isnt...one of the after market blue bulbs, and both of my OEM bulbs. now one OEM bulb is fried, that was on the right side and both blue bulbs.
these thinks are so touchy. i never touched them with my hand or jarred them. i tightened up the housing when i replaced the bulbs so it wasnt rattling as i drove or anything...i dont get it.
all the bulbs i put into the right side are burning out :\

Oh ok, You also want to make sure, you don't get any oil on those bulbs. Meaning don't pick the actual bulb with your fingers.

i know that was the first thing my buddy said, but i already knew not to. :\
im pretty damn sure i didnt, i was realy mindfull when i handled each bulb. .but without that bieng a factor then im realy puzzled. it couldnt have been that :\
thx for your help man
