Post Possible electrical problem...HELP


One month after I bought my L I changed the headlights and the fog lights to Hyperwhite bulbs. I rarely used the fog lamps.
About one month ago I started using the fog lamps every day (just because it looks cool).
After about two weeks the fog lamp on the passenger side went out. So I bought new bulbs. And here it is 2 weeks later and the fog light on the passenger side went out. That’s two times, same side, and about the same time span.
Any thoughts? After reading the horror stories about Ford’s service departments I am afraid to take it in for fear they will "F" up the entire electrical system.

Thanks

Try putting the factory bulbs back in and see if they work better. Maybee it is the hyperwhite bulbs that are causing the problems.
