what should I do with my fogs? :cry:
what should I do with my fogs? :cry:
Mine is a 08 TSX. I was using Xtreme 4300k HID fogs before, it has condensation in the fogs. I was very unhappy. Then I switch to DDM 6000k HID fogs, and the condensation is still the same (or even worse, I dont know and forgot).
Now what should I do guys? Should I just leave it or fix it? If I leave it would it be bad for the fogs and covers? If it needed to be fixed, how?
Thanks guys

To the best of my knowledge simply swapping bulbs won't help with condensation unless the bulb is just not seating properly and leaving a small gap on the back side front condensation to build up.
You can take your fog housings out and see if you can determine if there is a spot around where the lens and the housing meet and use some clear silicon to seal it up.
Or since yours is an 08 I'd assume you're still under warranty, just take it to the dealership and make them deal with it. Just pull your HIDs out before you take it in so they can't blame it on bulb replacement...

Sell them to me so I can replace my broken one 
Seriously, you've just got some moisture in there. Probably got in when you installed the HIDs. Now its probably just trapped in there. You could try taking out the bulbs and using a hair dryer or something to try and evaporate it. Or do what Hawkins said and put them in the oven for a few minutes on the lowest setting. All you're trying to do is heat them enough to evaporate all the moisture out of them and reinstall them.

I used to read threads about putting a few bags of silica, like the ones that come in shoes and stuff to keep moisture out...put it on a string or something and leave it in there overnight. It will absorb all the moisture...
OR leave the lense out in the sun and pull the bulb out...then, when it's for SURE dry...put the bulb back in to seal OUT the moisture.
