ok so i've had this problem with my foglights for a while and have not been able to find an answer to it.

basically, i changed out the stock foglights and replaced them with nokya 2500k . they lasted for a good 9 months but one side shut off. i bought a new set thinking the bulb blew but when i went under to change out the faulty one, i found there was nothing wrong with it and after jiggling it, the bulb came on again. i figured it was loose so i wrapped it in electrical tape. this fix only lasted for about a week and the bulb went out again. i checked it out again and this time the bulb refused to come out. i was able to get it out of the housing but it seemed like it melted into the socket. anyone know what might be the problem? as far as i can tell the bulb is still fine but im afraid the connectings have melted. i dont want to take it into lexus so are there any DIY? and would switching to an HID set up fix this problem?

 

ive always had issues with my passenger side fog harness...same bulbs..Now on HID...its better

now is your nokya 55w? or 75W?

 

it was a 75W rating i think...since you asked me this, im guessing its because i might have been running improper wattage? which contributed to the malfunctioning?

 

indeed sir.

 

more power ..more thermal energy

 

my original was 75w i then got 55w then it was good
