Im thinking it has to do with the wiring heres the deal
When i throw the fogs on the passenger one comes on and the driver maybe 80% of the time wont. In that case i go outside the car and i lightly hit my bumper cover and it comes on. Sometimes it doesnt then that means i go into my bottom grill open the little thingy in there and reach for the wire and wiggle it and it comes on.
I have Luminics JDM Yellow Bulbs, how do i fix this.
Let me add something, when i changed the bulbs once before the inside of the harness was burnt on one of the prongs on the bulbs.
Help guys thanks!!!

It has to be a wiring problem, I have that same thing, but with my DRL's (turn signals). Every so often the bulb will stop working, and one of the prongs will be burnt, and the plastic on the bulb melted. I have a bag of at least 10 bulbs that have been blown.

If its a problem with the wattage of the bulb they make adapters to go between the bulb and harness so you dont burn up your stock harness. Just a thought:twothumbs

i found out the problem, the old Nokya Artic Whites i had in before the JDM yellows melted the plastic on the plastic and it burnt the metal inisde the harness to connect to the fog light, well i pulled the jdm yellow one out just now and noticed practically the whole plastic harness was gone and finished and all the metal is burnt and done, i left the headlights out and left the fog lights in so imma try and find a new fog light harness and put HID's instead with a lower wattade draw, and also the passenger side one is perfectly fine.

Same situation i'm in on driver's side as well. check for moisture in the harness also.
