In the past two months I have had to replace my passenger side fog light bulb twice. About a week ago my drivers side went out. And today after washing my car I noticed the passenger side light was filled about a quarter full of water. Are my bulbs burning out because of moisture? Or is this a common thing for these lights? Also is there anything I can do to prevent them from getting moisture in them? Thanks!

Water should not be in there. That is what is causing the bulbs to burn out. Hot bulb + cold water = dead lamp.

Check the gaskets.

the stock foggies suck. go buy piaa 510s or some other aftermarkets. the seals on the stockers are horrible and always end up leaking. i've had piaa's for 8ish months and they look good as new, and haven't replaced a bulb yet on them. and besides, they're 10x brighter than the stocks. no need for headlights with them! eek wink
