I replaced my Fog Bulbs with the 885s just this past week.
I drive with them on when ever I have my lights on and I have not had a problem.
I was worried about melting the light housing but so far so good.
Plan to do the swith wiring mod this week end so I can drive at dusk with just the fogs and parks on.

I difference is I can actually see with them better.
I'm quite happy with them now.

The reason your lights may have burst on you is because you light housing may have a bad seal. Do you ever see moisture in the lights?
