fog light issue..
i put aftermarket fog light bulbs and after a while i realized that it was melting the plastic piece that that bulb connects to. i realized it when my light went off then when i play with the socket it turns back on which is a bad connection. i called the dealer up and asked what do i need to do and he told me that i need to change the whole entire wire that connects from the harnes, which will run me about a grand. i am deff not gonna drop that for a fog light wire lol, can any one give me a suggestion on what to do to get around it. thanks

i got them from strauss by what the book said, they were hyper white blue bulbs like 9000 something. the guy told me that its a common problem when u put those aftermarket bulbs because they get to hot for the socket

I've never had any issues like this in my life to be honest and I've been through everything in the book. Right now I have HIDs in mine and no issues.
Could have been that the bulb your running is more voltage/wattage then stock.

A not very well sealed HID harness I had in my fogs eventually caused the factory harness to corrode out. You should be able to cut the old connector off, solder a new one on (ebay extremely cheap) and put some heat shrink tube over the joint for good measure. Seeing as how it is only two wires per side, it's not a big deal. The most annoying part would be just getting to the wires through the stiff wheel well covers.
