Condensation in Fog Lamp

I was standing in my garage last night admiring my T4R, when I noticed condensation fogging one of my fog lamp lense. I am pretty sure these are sealed? Has anyone had this happen? My last vehicle had this happen to the main lamp and the stealer told me to turn the lights on and it would dry out....3 yrs later it was still wet and actually had standing water in it. So I am concerned. If anyone has had this happen please let me know.
thanks

It happened to my motorcycle lights too. You gotta have the inside completely dry. Even a tiny droplet of water will cause condensation.
Take out the light bulb. If you have one of those flexible tools that have pinchers at the end used to grab things like screws from tight places, attach a strip of clean rag and get the water out. Use a blow dryer (on hot) to completely dry out the inside of the lamp. hook up the bulb and you're good to go. Check the seal at the point of bulb holder attachment to the lamp and be sure it's clean without dirt.
If it happens again, the actual lamp might have a bad seal.
 
There should be some type of vent (pin hole) in the lens. Usually it is located at the lowest point of the lens. You need to locate the vent and clear it (it's probably blocked).
