Fog lamps keep blowing!

Right fog lamp bulb keeps blowing.....I've gone through 3 in 1 week. Anyone have any suggestions?
The first lamp's filament is what gave, the next two bulbs popped!

Take it in to the dealer. If you are still under warranty; you shouldn't change any disposable items like bulbs. My dealer replaces them for free, and I'm out of warranty.

Yeah but they're Eaglelite bulbs....meaning fake Xenon bulbs. I'm not sure if the dealer is going to support that.

No they won't. Its not factory. Did you have the same problem before you exchanged the factory ones for those?

many HID-look bulbs are infamous for putting a hole in your pocket.

I spent a small fortune on them for my old w202... the cheap ones always blow, the expensive ones are really expensive (RAY BRIG) and the moderately priced ones are just rebranded cheap ones
