water in foglight??
Hey, I just had one of my foglights replaced when I fixed the lower lip on my car. The day I picked the car up it was pooring out. The next day I noticed moisture inside the foglight that was replaced but my other one was fine. It's been a week now and nothing has changed. I know the headlights "breathe" is it the same with the foglights? Will the moisture dry out or do I need to replace the light again?

No, not pouring out of the light. You know raining real hard. Now there's condensation inside the lens. I know the headlights can have the same thing happen, but after a while the condensation evaporates. They are vented. Didn't know if the foglights were the same. I've been away since I parked it. When I get home this weekend hopefully it's all clered up. I was just wondering if anyone ever had the same happen.

there should be no condensation in a proper fog light. downpour or not.
you sure you have all your underbody panels on the front installed? the fog lights are designed to be splashed from the front. a splash from the bottom or from the back might introduce water in the fog light through the wire harness.
