Condensation probably. My buddys WS6 always fills up with water and they blow also.

Well the holes there are to get the condensation out. They may be too big and letting too much in. The holes are suppose to be only long enough to not ingulf the lights with water.

Do you have keyless entry?

If so do you lock it with the remote so that the fog lamps come on when you press it twice?

I have heard that if you do this it will beat your fog lamps to hell. I solved it by turning off my lamps when I turn the car off that way if I want to push it twice just the running lights pop on and off.
