    Fog Lamp Frustration

    I have been having a lot of trouble with my fog lamps. It seems that one will go out within a few weeks of being replaced and it has happened to both. Has anyone else dealt with this? Is this something that's easy to fix?

    You're not touching the bulbs when you put them in, are you? Also look for any chips/cracks in the lenses, and if there's a seal or gasket in between the lens and the assembly, check it for wear.

      I used to go threw bulbs too. I think I must get a little water in mine when it rains. My solution was just not to use them in damp conditions and I have not burnt one out in a long time. This works for me because I don't drive in wet conditions much.

        That makes sense to not use them in the damp weather. I don't touch the bulbs for sure. I really prefer the way the car looks when they're on, but since it's my daily driver and I'm in the bad weather all the time, I might need to just start turning them off more. Thanks.
