Annoying fog (driving) light problem

Have installed Stedi just about every thing on my 2018 Ranger, but have a recurring problem with the front R H S globe which keeps blowing. At $60 per pair this is getting expensive
Have sent an email to them and they have been very good in the past so expect a positive out come
Altered settings as per saeb's instructions from fog lights to driving lights
I assume they are canbus ready as they advertise them for Ford Rangers, can any body give me a reason why this is happening and a solution?

Canbus ready makes no difference in this case, I would just say it is build quality and could even be crappy regulators more than anything.

Did you also swap the voltage regulator out last time and not just the globe?
Did you test the old globe with a new reg to confirm which part failed?

In most case the reg fails then send a voltage spike to the LED globe and blows that also.

Thanks Stewart, ended up going to an auto elec, he claimed the globe defective as when he earthed the body of the globe it would operate
See what Stedi do now!
