Fog Lights
So I have a '00 w202, it has the fog light built into the head lamp.
Problem:
The fog bulb burns out within 3 to 4 days of use. I have replaced with several differnet brands. So Im I looking at a wiring problem or amp problem? anyone know?

Globes don't blow due to faulty wiring, they might not work but they don't blow.
Does the old globes look dark? Can you see if the fillament has broken? Do you have headlamp protectors/covers? Have you checked the voltage at both the battery and the fog lamp globe while the engine is running? What wattage globes are you using?
