That would happen with any 55w watt high beam bulb in the round style fogs. Its not due to the bulbs being crappy.

Don't know what tasca's charging, but these are the ones I picked up after I melted my housings as well. fog housing I haven't had any problems. But make sure when you check out you have one Driver side and one Passenger side as they ARE different.
