My right fog light keeps blowing. i have gone through 2 in the past 3 weeks or so. i dont see any condensation in there and i didnt touch the bulbs when i put them in. anyone have any thoughts?

 

I had the same prob....found water on the wire hareness connection. I took disconnected blew everything dry,sprayed it with wd-40, and reassembled. Have not had any trouble since.

It could be coincendence but this fixed it for me. have not blown one in over three months now

 

might be a cracked housing as well.

 

you sprayed the wire harness that the bulb connects in to?

 

No I sprayed the contacts themselves, just lightly in order to remove and prevent any condensation or mositure from creating an arc or short...I am refering to the connection in the fender well

 

same here.....
i just keep on changing them lol
huso

 

well i am using silverstar so that isnt really an option, i bought all 4 a year ago and just now had the first one go 3 weeks ago

 

My right one blew also. When I pulled it out I noticed that water had collected in the connector that is held under the bumper. Not sure if that was the problem but I'll keep an eye on it.

 

so does anyone have any suggestions to keep this water out?

 

i had the same prob with after market fog lights bulbs... that one wire that goes into the bulb(power wire) its some how grounds its self out to the actual bulb housing... theres no insulation on it wat so ever compared to the oem bulbs... mite want to look into that...

 

mine are oem...........but i will still take a look

 

I'm going to try some black electrical tape or maybe relocate the connector so it can't trap water. I'll figure something out once I'm on my back replacing the bulb.

 

fill the connector with greese after you make the connection.
