Fog lamp assembly all fogged up

[zduchene]

has anyone had the problem of the fog light lens fogging up on the inside. If so, did the dealer consider that a warrenty part?

Thanks in advance.

Same question here...just noticed over the past week or so that condensation occasionally forms in one of my DRL/signal/fog light assemblies...

If you haven't been tampering with it.. then yes. It will be covered under warranty. They will try and fix it for you first.. and if it doesn't work.. they'll just order you in a new one.

I'm having excessive condensation build up in my DRL/Blinker housings. I've tried pulling the bulb and letting it dry out, but somehow it magically comes back.

Any ideas here?

Same deal here. I just noticed that my passenger DRL/turn assembly is fogged up. It will eventually evaporate, but tends to fog up again. Time to see the dealer.

Condensation on the inside of the lens is caused by moisture getting inside. This usually happens in one of two ways, either the lens has a crack/hole in it from a stone hit, or the seal in the rear where the blub plugs in is no good. I have had good luck with sealing stone chip damage to the lens with silicone sealant until I could replace it.

This has been discussed before.

I had this happen because I didn't completely seat the bulb after changing a burned bulb. Fixed it myself by taking the assembly off the truck and drying it out. The tricky parts are getting the fog light and turn signal assemblies apart and then pouring out the condensation. The lense has a projector inside so you can't just stuff a sponge in to pick up the excess. I soaked up as much as possible and then used a hair dryer on low setting to evaporate the rest. Left it to dry further overnight. Be patient and it takes time. Get it all the first time so you don't have to repeat the exercise. Then make sure you seat the bulbs so it has a good seal.

Better yet, if they cover it under warranty, then let the stealer fix it...
