Fog light bulbs
The left fog light on my 95 Explorer keeps blowing. I have spent my last $24 on a replacement bulb to see what is realing making it blow. They bulbs looked like they got wet or were touched, but I've been very careful when installing it. Any ideas?

My right fog lamp and my '95 goes out more frequently from the left. I have always thought that water was somehow getting inside the light housing. last time I replaced it there was moisture in the housing on the right but not the left. Fortunately, it is rarely foggy where I live so I don't need them very often. They likely blow when the hot bulb gets touched by water. Sorry not much help.

It's very likely to be water leaking in due to a crack, perhaps on a seam.
You could try removing the housing and submerging it inverted in a bucket of water, and looking for air bubbles.
Maybe you could seal yours up, depending on what you find.
