Blown Fog Lights!! OK, so in the 5 weeks I have had the new bird, I have replaced the driver's side fog light twice already, and now a 3rd as of tomorrow!!! I noticed that autotrix has bigger seals on their site. Has anyone done this on their own with other household items or something from the local car store?
Could it be something else causing this light to just blow out. This time I am almost positive it is because of the stock seals, the light is blown into pieces.
TIA,
Dave

Is the fuse popping too? Also, try not to handle the bulbs by the glass as fingerprint oils cause uneven temperatures and hot spots that will explode the glass as you mention. Do you have condensation inside the fog lights? If so, try heating them with a hair dryer from the front lens with the bulb out to get the trapped water out.

fuse isnt poping, the other light is fine......just the drivers fog light....no moisture in the lens
its funny i just went to buy the new bulbs and was going to have them install them (free) and I noticed that my passenger light has condensation in it, but the drivers side does not, yet im blowing them out of the drivers side...and i mean literally blowing them, their is glass in the bottom of the lense.

Well when I took it up to Strauss to change the bulb being it was free, he showed me my housing and its all chewed up and doesnt let the bulb sit into it securely. So now I will be searching for a new housing.
BUT....
From what I can see I can move up to 8000K HID fog lights for the same price as 1 OEM housing. What would you guys do?
