This might be a dumb topic, but I've only had my fog lights in for a couple of weeks. My left fog light burnt out already, and I probably have only had my fog lights on for 1 hour total. Is this how an H3 bulb looks when it gets burnt out?



Did I get a bad bulb? Is it maybe my wiring? The wiring is as follows (excuse the crappy quick MSpaint job haha):



The difference in wiring between the 2 bulbs is that the burnt out one kind of doesn't have as solid of a connection to the spade on the H3 bulb. Is this probably the reason the bulb burnt out?

It hasn't rained or anything for the past week when it happened.

So yeah I just wanted to see if anyone had some insight of what could be wrong.

The wiring looks normal dont see why it should of burned out so my best guess is that is was a bad bulb from the start. As long as your grounded both of them to a similar spot dont see why it should burned.

Premature bulb failure is a common problem....and it's rarely a direct wiring problem
