Are you sure its fogged up? how is it fogged up? is it moisture or dirt? you can remove the housing and remove the bulb sockets to get a look inside. if its moisture, which i doubt because it still lets alot of light through, you can let it sit and dry out, and then try to find out where it was not sealing. if its dirt, you can try to wash it out. if its not fogged up, it may be that there is not as much power getting to those lights. in that case, i dont know what to do, and someone with more knowledge can chime in.

I have the exact same problem with my taillight. Unfortunettly only way to fix it is to buy a new one. Its from water leaking into the light. When the water sits in the light it corrodes away the reflective material on the inside of the light. It looks darker b/c the light isnt reflecting as much as the good one. So far I havent found where mine leaks. I put silicone on the bulb gaskets and it still leaks.
