Fog light keeps burning out.

My passenger side fog light keeps burning out. I am very careful not to touch the bulb when I install it. It lasts about a month if that. The driver's side seems to last way longer than the passenger side. Anyone know what could be causing this?

check for cracks in the housing, water could be getting in there.

Check and see if there is ANY if at all any cracks along the seems lense and anywhere else. if water get in the BOOM there goes the bulbs.

funny thing. cause i just bought my 189k max, and both fogs are out. checked fuse, and its not blown. didnt try changing bulb yet. just wondering would it be wise to put in hid's into the fogs since i heard putting hid's into our stock housing causes so much glare

What color is the blown bulbs,blueish silver or clear(maybe just a bad bulb)?If blueish silver color,then you might want to check your fog light housing for crack and hole,or check the wire plug if it's got good contact,if it does,then you might have a open circuit or short somewhere.Hope this will help.
