There was some discussion of issues on some LR3 some time ago, where the wires would sometimes rub and short out. To check it, you need to remove the assemblies and inspect the wires for rubbing, and take corrective action as necessary.

Pull out your fog light circular trim (use a small flat screwdriver to help), then unscrew the retaining screws and pull the light forward. Now check the wires- you will most likely find a small area of damaged insulation - it rubs on the steel framework. Wrap it in insulation tape, (each wire separately then together) then put it back together. Replace your fuse after you have done both front fogs.

Takes about 15 minute per side and a few minutes with the fuse.
