Default Fog Light Keeps Blowing GRRR

Has anyone had this problem with their FOG Light Bulb.
I replaced it once it cost about 12 dollars for the bulb.

Anyone know where I can get the bulb for a better price?

ANy Idea why its blowing?

The fog light is on a 91 LS400

thanks

Something is causing a short. Have you checked your trunk wiring harness at the hinge? There are some past threads about this.

Would this just affect one Fog Lamp? (the lamp next to the headlight)
Thanks

check the harness at the bulb.

on my old LS i bought a pair of Silverstars for approx. $20-25 so ur price for a GENERIC bulb is pretty high.

Possibly a fuse too.

my left fog keeps doing the same too.
I just forget about it for now.... but good idea to check fuses and harness.

I'm thinking about modding them to the cheaper H3 bulbs like a few others have done... and here too

Ok I am going to do the conversion but which bulb to get?
I see that there are many types of H3s
like 5200k 6200k and 6600k
