Water bubbles inside fog light?

ferrari888 · 01-22-2011, 04:10 PM

I have problem is water bubbles inside my fog light like 5days now, it is still there now. Do you guys have any experience about that? What about delarship will fix the problem for us? My car is 2008

VERY common. I don't think there is one 3 series owner who DOESN'T have condensation issues with their fogs- it sucks, and all I ever got from the dealer is a cheery "ah, it'll dry up."

i had it in my right one for about 2 months then just disappeared one day and hasn't been back?? i thought it was bc of my hid kit harness but its a common problem. Take the bulb out and take a hair dryer to it!?

It looks like everyone have same problem on that,because I have aftermarket HID fog light on it. So I probably take out bulbs first and use hair dryer to dry it.thanks a lot guys!!!

In my opinion it's condensation that's gathered inside the lamp, due air entering somewhere (either around bulb or where the 2 halves of the lamp meet) best thing to do is pull the bulb out and blow a small amount of air in with a small rubber hose (1/4 hose 6 in length) to dry it up

It will happen again and again regretfully. The housing is vented somehow I think, so it's just a cosmetic eyesore really I have come to live with. Leaving em on all the time can minimize the condensation areas.

Is there anyway to seal the fog light so it doesn't happen again? Sorry to bump an old thread but I just noticed this on my M3 rep fogs yesterday while washing my car. It looked like water was actually in the housing, I'm scared to turn on my fogs ..
