I have gone though like 3 pairs of blubs in the last couple
of weeks. Use gloves to install the bulb... Once it even
shattered... I think the nose piece of the kit is vibrating
the lights too much, in which case causes them to
blow out soooooooo dame often.
Does anyone out there have a close up
photo they can post with a close up
of the fog lights in relation to the stillen kit?
Trying to get an idea of how the nose piece
is supposed to sit in the front of the car.
Side shots of the front end can also be helpful.
Going to the body shop that installed my kit to try
and resolve my fog light problem.
They might try and reposition the nose.
Any suggestions.

Sorry to hear... My lip is partly under the fog assembly and partly not. I'll see if I can get some pics up for you, but for now, take a look at my pics at my homepage.

Do you leave your lights in AUTO position? If so, turn them off until the motor is running.

I read that if your light come on while the car is starting, you can get a voltage spike which will cause your bulbs to explode or burn out. I just installed mine, so I make sure I only turn my lights on manually once the engine is running, but only time will tell. Just an idea.
