For the life of me, I can't figure out what is going on with my lower left fog light. I went as far as buying a new fog light 2 years ago, and put a brand new bulb in it. After only a few months, the bulb will blow. Short? Where, how?

When you installed the bulb....did you touch the glass with your fingers? The oils from your fingers....onto the glass....when heated may cause the bulb to blow.
Clean with rubbing alcohol if you did touch the glass....or better yet....try not to touch them at all.

I am not following the splash guard comment.
Geez, so senitive are these bulbs? it is a new casing, as I did have a previous one that was cracked. Should I remove the casing and seal it or something? How can I verify a short? (Again, prob not the fuse since one fog always works). Thanks

Well, I took out the casing and it was dry inside, however, when attempting to unplug the blown bulb from the outside, water leaked from the outside wiring. The wiring is sealed with a rubber surrounding up to the point of the connection opening, so I wrapped eletrical tape all around it. Going to buy another bulb now and see how long that lasts.
