Wire Corrosion?

This is the third time my fog lights have stopped working..i just got under there and the same problem is that the connection between the wires and the bulb housing corrodes almost a green/teal color. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

Yup..its more than likely all the water or rain or even moisture getting in between the connectors and corrodes them. Go to autozone and get some electrical paste and put it in the connector, this will protect it from getting corroded again.
