what kind of bulbs did you put in there? Did you put higher wattage bulbs? did you check your fuses? You might of blew a fuse...

I blew 2 pairs of H3 55 watt blubs in 1 week. One set was Eurolites and another Nokya. I tried stock bulbs and they are working fine.

Based on Andy's experience, I guess we better stick to the stock bulbs.

PIAA H3 bulbs are excellent. The price isn't, but the bulb is.

First I put PIAA bulbs and it worked for about 3 month. then I bouth something else dont remeber the name and it stoped working in couple of days. I check the fuse, fog lights have only one fuse for both sides so it is not a fuse problem because right side is working.

I have the piaa xtreme, and they've been perfect for over 5 months. Did you make sure not to touch the glass of the bulb? The oils on your hands will shorten the life of your lights.

I dunno why but it happened to me. BTW, a couple of weeks ago I replaced my other superwhite bulbs back to stock.
