If it keeps burning out it may be a bad groumnd. ... going out but not burning out is poor connections, or damaged wiring. The headlights, and most other lights, kept going out in my 1993 Escort because of a dying alternator. Apparently, it was sending too much juice into the electrical system. If you're experiencing similar problems I would suggest checking the alternator just to be sure it's not the same problem. Since I replaced the bad alternator all bulbs are fine and are no longer needing to be replaced every couple weeks or so. I would suggest questioning the mechanic that removed your fog lights. Did they tape the cut wires or leave them exposed?

Why would your new radio not work with the headlights on?

Answer I had a similar problem when I put a CD player in my 92 explorer. The problem was that somehow I used the hot wire from the headlights. I simply just rewired the power wire and problem solved. First of all I would check the power source. If you didn't use a wiring harness some of the 12v power is discontinued when you turn the headlights on. Using either a voltmeter or testlight check for a constant power source. THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF THIS IS CONNECTING YOU VEHICLES DASH LIGHT WIRE TO THE GROUND ON THE STEREO

I just had this same problem with my 1998 VW Jetta. My parking brake light came on one day, but only half illuminated. Shortly after my windshield wipers and headlights stopped working.

Headlights might stay on in a Honda Odyssey after the engine is turned off because of a courtesy timer.
