Out of curiousity is this happening on a regular basis for you... after a rainy day ? or after you've just washed the car with a high pressure hose...etc etc. .

As mentioned by GrAsShOpPeR , if you have the time and inclination, warranty ... please fix...
the water is always in there....
anyone know how to remove the passengerside fog lens? would be quicker to do myself...i think

to get that fog light out without breaking the fog light ring you gotta remove the entire front bumper...then there are a few screws on the back of it (that aren't accessable in any other way except removin the bumper) that you just undo and BAM there's your fog light.

I agree 100%. It might be quicker to do yourself, but if you have future problems they probably won't cover repairs under warranty
true

upon further review....after washing it today....i looked at the lens closely...it appears that a rock may have hit the lens causing a piece of the lens to fall off on the inside....there is only a slight chip probably from the impact...all in all....i don't see how any water may have gotten in....

now, i know warranty wont cover it...it looks cloudy in comparsion to the other....
any quick fixes?

i find it hard to believe that i would have to remove the entire bumper to get at it (for example: to change the bulb)...i just want to remove the bulb to let the water evaporate out or do something to remove the water..

Help?

Thanx

no problem...I have had to air out my headlights a few times...figured it would work the same on the fogs....

cool

I actually was just recently able to get both headlights replaced free due to the clear film peeling off. I didnt think they would even consider replacing them under warranty because it wasnt too noticable. When I went to pick it up, all they said was we replaced both units...I was impressed but worried that i was to good to be true and would have something bad happen like condesation inside the lens
