Re: Steamed up front fog light
It happened to one of mine as well while the weather was icy
If it doesn't clear up when the weather gets warmer I think the only cure is to take it off and stick it in the oven on low heat to get all the moisture out. As recommended on here some while back!

Re: Steamed up front fog light
yeah i would do as above and run some clear sealant around where the lens meets the plastic backing and make sure the gasket around where the bulb goes in is nice and tight and water proof

I think they're held in with springs. I bought a new pair to fit to my old LX before it died and flogged them to swiss on here.
