Unhappy Breaking Fog Lights

Anyone else having this problem? I just recently replaced my fogs (because one of the bulbs was broken) and within about 3 weeks, the same thing has happened again. The bulb is broken near the base (plug) and there's water in the housing? Anyone know a solution?

are you touching the bulbs with your fingers when you put them in?

Pretty sure I didn't. They were Silverstar Ultra's BTW. At least that's what I remember.

Well if there's water in the housing, you might try running a little bead of clear silicone around the seams of the housing after you put the new bulbs in. and +1 to Jc, you have to be really careful not to touch the bulbs with your hands
