Water in foglights

I have a replica mazdaspeed front and in the last year I have already done through two sets of h11 foglight bulbs. When I pull them out to replace them the wire harness is wet. Is anyone else having this problem. My wire harness must be getting wet from washing the car. Anyone have any tips to prevent this problem??

What brand of H11s are you using? the stock version or others? I'm using Piaa's and no problem... perhaps the seal around the light fixture is broken/loose?
