hi , just bought this car and it looks great in red with the black roof but one thing that annoys me it has condensation in the front foglights , ive also seen a few monte carlo driving about with the same fault , how do i stop this as its nearly running condensation now , its doing my nut in

It’s a feature lol

 

ive had them complete dried out full blast with a hairdryer and still came back. 

Whats so different between these fogs and the standard ones?? My elegance never fog up... why is it just the monte ones that do... 

dont know im sure , my wife got back in the car tonight and the drivers side fog light is that wet its running down the inner lens now  , any idea how to take them out?

Ends of the grill pulls off then you put your hand in and push a clip and they come out 

thats great thanks 

Can I sak, do you use these lights regularly? Condensation is usually caused by warm air hitting cold. Cold exterior against a warm lens will cool, then the moisture will condense, creating this issue. If the lights get warm enough to dry out, great but if they are just warming, then cooling, they will most likely keep fogging up. If you never use them, except in extremes, I am surprised the temperature has not evened out, clearing the plastics.

 

I have heard of some foglight experiencing hairline cracks... Perhaps this is the source of water ingress? The actual jointing glue could have gaps, too but its also possible the bulbs rubber seals are weak/defective! I think some types have H4 bulbs, with a rubber seal. I just recently changed my own cars rear tail light  bulbs to LED bulbs and also replaced their corresponding rubber o-ring seals as they were at best, an anti vibration gasket, with no real water resistance, whatsoever! The rubber had petrified over time and replacing them means the bulbs fit tighter and have less chance of letting water get into the contacts or onto the bulbs. Not sure if you can find the correct size rubber boots for the H4 bulbs but if worn, replacing the bulbs will help. Just keep the old ones as spares. 

the day running light are on all the time so this is prob why , 

since this last post ive taken both out and dismantled the inner lens so i could get to the inner face of the clear plastic and wiped some interior rainex onto the glass/plastic , it works a treat upto now 1 week with no condensation yipee
