Fog Light Problem HELP ME PLZ

I added stock fog lights to my car. When I first installed them I noticed the passenger side fog light was much dimmer than the driver's side. It blew out after a week or so, so I replaced the bulbs. This time after a week or so, both bulbs blew out. They were completly burnt. I replaced both fog lights, adjusted the passenger to match the driver side, and two days later the passenger bulb blew. The driver's side works still. I rewired them so they go on by themselves. What is going on here????????

Thanks,
Aaron

I don't know, it shouldn't be doing this. Where should I check for short circuits?

That's what I did the other day. Again, you might have to crawl through the other side like I do now.......haha...... How many Amps of fuses the factory fog lights use? Maybe you could find out the individual current that's pulled on each light by meter..... I am just guessing....... and trying to help~

The first ones were used. The other two times they blew they were brand new H3's.

Aaron try un-independently wireing them. Run those for a while and see what happens.
