Moisture inside the Fog light cover.
When I picked up my MS3 I noticed bit of condensation inside the housing. Is this normal? Right now they are gone. I don't have much details on when this actually happen because I only had my car for 2 days!
Edit: I found the thread about the headlight housing. However the condensation disappeared for me. I guess I'll watch out if it comes back.

Re: Moisture inside the Fog light cover.
The heat from the bulbs should elimate the small stuff,
But if you have a goldfish in there, bring it to the dealer..

Re: Moisture inside the Fog light cover.
I go to seneca college and i seen a lambo Muricialgo (srry for spelling)with fogged up rear lights, and thats cars like 500K+, if that car has it than iam not worried about anything,
Re: Moisture inside the Fog light cover.
i would be worried because i'm a clean freak and because dirty water got in there and when it dries, it's going to leave its mark. dirt in inaccessible places will be the last thing i want to see. if the lambo had fishes swimming in his tail light would it be fine if you had them too?
Re: Moisture inside the Fog light cover.
I just had the same thing happen to me, mositure in my passenger fog light, first tiem it has happened.
Hopefully it dries out by the time i leave work.
I wonder how moisture actaully got in though

Re: Moisture inside the Fog light cover.
My guess is that poor sealant or maybe it's condensation from the air inside the fog assembly. But if you use your foglights occasionally, the heat should definitely get rid of the moisture.
