fog light keeps blowing out

Whats up members. I have a pre-lci 335i and i just got the m3 rep bumper. I got the convertor for the fog lights from H11 to the 9006. For the first 3 weeks i didnt have a problem. I was running the regular yellow bulb. Then the drivers side bulb blew. I took it out and it looked as if it burnt where the plug in pins are on the bulb. So the i got a new bulb. 4000k and i had it on for about a week and today the.bulb went out again. It only happens to the drivers side. Any ideas why this is happening? I wanted to put in HID's but im afraid the same thing might happen to the bulb.

Idk if this has anything to do with it. But the passanger side angel eye is out.

Id appreciate any help i can get to try to fix this.

Thanks.

don't touch the bulbs with your fingers as the oil on your hands can cause these problems. If your already wearing gloves i'm not sure. Hope that helps

I think that's only true for xenon bulbs.

Op, I would check for any damage to the wiring insulation. Make sure nothing is shorting out.
