Foggy Foglights!!!

[nick81olson]

Ok, so i changed my foglight bulbs and now i am getting water in them and they are fogging up... Why? I took the bulbs out and checked to see if they were seated properly and they seamed like they were, I also change the Oring that seals the bulbs so maybe that will fix it... but i still have standing water in the foglights... how do you take the foglight housing out of the bumper so i can drain the water and clean them up again?
:hmmmm2:

do you have the right fogs? That shouldn't happen. Unless you have a crack in the housing of the headlight. Sorry dude! I can't think of why this is happening. :hmmmm2:

You probably had the seal not seated correctly the first time which let moisture in. Then you never dried out the inside of the housing when you did the O-ring change. You need to dry out the housing completely then seal it shut. I used a hair dryer at the cool setting and sat my lights in direct sun when I had moisture in my headlight.

thats a good question...not sure anyone has had to take them out for any reason ...how much water u got in there?

Why not just park the car outside in the sun? Leave the bulbs out. Should dry out okay.

Theres at least 1/2 inch of water in each...

I dont think 1/2 inch of water will dry out that fast... plus its about 30 degrees in IL right now...:top:

thats the best solution i can think of aswell :hmmmm2:

 

[morcheez]

i was gonna say that to but geez a 1/2 inch of water ...get a straw and suck it out :dontknow:

 

[project-c2]

:stupido2: Sorry. didn't know it was like 1/2 inch. Take the foglights out and put the bulbs in. Hold it upright and pour water onto the housing and note where the water is getting in. That's what I would do. Possibly the seal is missing on the back where the bulb goes in.

im guessing without looking at them theres a few maybe 3 bolts or screws that hold them in place and they probably come out from behind the bumper ill look at mine tomorrw and see for sure

From what I could see lying down on the ground looking up with a little LED flashlight. I can see screws holding it to the bumper.
