help please

I have a 2006 SS s/c and I have a issue with the fog lights. the fog light on the left (sitting in drivers seat) works fine and when I push the button it stays on. however the light on the right goes on for about 5 seconds and then cuts out. any help welcome thanks

Both Fog lamps are controlled from the same relay.
I would check the connections(Grounds also because they are grounded seperatly) and if they are okay I would say the lamp will need to be replaced.

Swap the bulbs from side to side and see if the problem follows the bulb.
Guessing it does because it sounds like something in the bulb is going open circuit when it heats up.

Might want to grab a spare h11 (or 2) anyways, then you can change it out right away if it is a bad bulb.

If not a bad bulb, what Coblasts said ^^^^, could be a bad connection thats heating up when you put the power to it.
