  • drivers side foglight keeps burning out

    my drivers side foglight keeps burning out after I got in the wreck. the body shop replaced the thing, and i've had to take it back to them multiple times because the foglight keeps burning out (among other things they did a ****ty job on..).

    anyone got any ideas?

    You keep touching the glass with your fingers! The grease from your hands get onto the bulb and the bulb burns the grease and causes the bubl to blow.

      also check the housing. on my 93, my housing was real loose where the bulb connected so whenever i hit a bump or pot hole, my bulb would move and break the filament inside. i was dumbfounded for a bit till i was driving and they were reflecting on the car in front of me. i hit a bump and [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img] light went out. also maybe check the fuses??

        Go for the housing, if there is a crack in it or any way to let more air or H20 in there, she will blow with ease. I had a crack in my housing/casing and I replaced the bulb twice due to ignorance, then I said fugg it and bought aftermarket HID's, they are much better and they have a longer shelf life.

          Make sure that you're not touching the bulb when you're installing it. Wear clean rubber gloves when you re-install it.
