Passenger OEM Fog Light is Fogging...

My passenger foglight has a little bit of condensation on the inner part of the lens, its causing the output to be a little bit more flared then that of the driver side. The foglight is more distinctive in my opinion with this flare, but nonetheless this is killing my foglight bulbs. Anyone know where to pick up a used passenger foglight or have a solution to this condensation problem??

You should be able to clean out the water, by removing the fog, and then removing the bulb. Once you have cleaned out the condensation, check around the fog to make sure there are no leaks or problems with the seal. My guess is that the bulb harness isn't sealing all the way, and it's letting moisture in that way. Try reseatting the bulb. You can also get some sealant, if you find a spot where it looks like there's a leak.

take off the foglight, clean it as posted above, and check the rubber gasket around the seal. make sure you set it in the groove right. i have part of it screwed up and mine did the same. reset the gasket and been fine ever since.

removin the bulb doesn't allow access to the inner part of the glass lens does it? i was looking at it this weekend and was trying to find a way to get to it...the rubber gasket inside the foglight had some white substance surrounding, almost like a chalk residue
