i keep blowing up my passinger side fog light (and i do mean blowing it up as in exploading) i was wondering if this keeps happening because the power wire for that side is running across the firewall near the distributer????

after i replace it it will work for awhile then after a few times of use it exploades the bulb???? i dont get it if it was a spike of some sort wouldent it blow the fuse first??? im just wondering thanks for you help

 

are you srue you're not touching the actual glass part of the bulb when you're replacing it? i know the oils from our hand can cause the bulb to explode when heated. use latex gloves next time to prevent that to reduce one variable

 

nope im very careful of that...btw there aftermarket fog lights not factory im gonna try to redo the ground this weekend and ill see what happens

 

hmmm, i don't think the wire running near the distributor would necessarily be the problem. Perhaps the harness that plugs into the bulb is bad?

 

check the wiring again, how do u have the switch hooked up is it the oem foglight switch or is it aftermarket

 

it an aftermarket rocker switch....the funny thing is that it didnt do this when i first installed them....ive tried diff wattage bulbs even it dosent matter it still makes them explode.....i guess you get what you pay for they were like35-40 bucks at pep boys i think they were called "blazer" fog lights???? they look like fourth gen foglights kinda i dunno im gonna look at the whole system this weekend thanks for your help guys i do appreciate it:hail:

 

hmm i think a couple of the members on the have those blazer foglights because they look similar to the OEM foglights but havent' heard of this problem from them. I agree with the other statement about checking all the wiring again if you've already exhausted other possibilities

 

how do you have the switch wired and is there 2 or 3 prongs on the back of it.
