Easy fix for factory foglights

I upgraded all the bulbs in my 2000 Maxima SE and found that all the bulbs had a decent life span but the bulbs in my factry fogs kept blowing out in about a month. I tried several different companies from PIAA to Nokia and the same result. I finally figured it out when after a real good rain the night before I went to change the bulb on the drivers side that was blown for a week.At this point I am a pro at this repair! There was moisture in the plug where the lights plug to the harness. I took out the other side and found the same. I put some white grease in both sockets and guess what ? I have not had to replace them since! Just FYI for you guys. Stay Cool and any guys in central FLA. E-mail me and we can go to Orlando and take over Sonics on international Drive one saturday.
