Foglights and Water Inside

Jdog_Si · 04-30-2008, 11:32 AM

Hi,

Searched and didnt rly find anything.

I recently installed foglights and couple of days later, it rained. I noticed that one of my fogs had some water on teh inside lens (condensation? or leak?)

If this is the case, should I seal it?

I have the same problem, I have condensation in mine, I havent had the chance but your supposed to reseal them after you are able to get the moisture/water out

you could drill a tiny hole into them to let the condensation get out....

Hmm, but then wouldnt water get in constantly?

unless you drill thru the lens you probably need to take the bumper off, thats why I havent done it yet

no, just seal the hole with some silicone or the same thing you use to seal the lens

I havnt sealed them yet though, so I'll have to take them off at least once to do that :]
