My left side fog light bulb keeps burning out, they are H3 and the first set I had were PIAA and they lasted for over a year. I bought Nokyas now a week later the same side is out. WTF! CAn someone please give me some pointers on how to fix this problem.

I checked and they are plugged in tight, no condensation...

Did I also mention after a year the left side PIAA burned out, now I got brand new Nokyas and the same side burned out within a week...weird, I might just get the OEM fog lights I'm wondering if there's something wrong with the after market harness

wear rubber gloves like the ones the doctors uses when installing light bubs :wink:

Maybe it's your wiring? I would check that particular side's wiring/harness. They are not that
expensive to replace. Also, I wipe the bulbs down with a micro fiber cloth before I put it in the hole.
(That's what she said!! :D )

Don`t use rubber gloves. They all have some kind of chemicals in them. Only use a new tissue when handling bulbs.
