Bought a 97 Max with OEM fog lamps and when i purchased it the pass side fog lamp was blown. I replaced both bulbs with yellow h3's. The pass side bulb only lasted 2 days.... bad bulb or should i be looking for a wiring issue? thanks!

 

try a new bulb and see if it blows again.

 

Take the bulb from the other side and swap it in. If it blows again, it's not a bulb issue.

 

Just to verify-- you know not to touch the glass right? I always wipe mine down with alcohol before installing-- just in case.

 

I swapped in the other bulb and it blew also. Found the issue in the process though...the pass side fog is missing that rubber boot thing and i believe it was touching the bulb and grounding out . anyway, i got new bulbs and wrapped the pass side with electrical tape and no issues so far....

 

Yeah i learned that lesson back in my fast and furious days...yeah thats right i had a SOHC Vtec civic hatch with a fart can (i thought i was the s*hit) and those blue bulbs...went through many sets wondering why the hell they kept blowing..haha

 

I changed the fog light relay for the factory fogs to work. Still doesn't work even swapping bulbs from one to another. In need of assistants.

 

You check the fuses?

 

good job man

 

I'll check it again.

 

try to trace the wire on ur pass side to see if its open and touching metal or anything

 

it was...problem solved!
