fog light burning out
well my brother has a 05 maxima and he had the dealer replace his right foglight bulb 4 times and left 1 time, does anyone else have a similar problem, any fixes?
this was within 14 months and 30K miles

I just installed GE H3 55LL (long life) bulbs in my 04. The service life is advertised as double that of the regular bulbs.
I'll let you know how it works out in 2000 hours or so.

No, this isnt the bulb...ive had my pass side blow out 4 times while the driver never does...something is wrong i think too much current is going to one bulb

Well this is what blew out in the passenger side for me:
PIAA super plasma $60
Nokya yellow $30
Luminics blue $25
----------------------
Total cost $115
Every time it left me with one good driver bulb, so what am i supposed to do with one bulb? Ive decided im not going to keep replacing it and pissing money away...$115 later and I presently have one luminics that works.
Ill give u this though, the OEM didnt blow out, but I replaced it pretty early.
