Dim Foglight I've tried searching this and couldn't find anything, could some one help me out please? One of my foglights is more dim than the other. I've tried putting new bulbs in them and adjusting the angle.

I was messing around with my fog light again lastnight and still can't figure it out. I took out the bulb from both fog lights and turned them on and they are both the same, but whenever I put them back in, the passenger side looks way dim. There is condensation back on the inside of it again and none on the driver side. Any more ideas? Can I take the housing apart and clean it up?

Had the same problem with a turn signal. It was a cracked lens. They take a beating being in the bumper. Not sure about the fog light, but the turn signal lenses also have a breather element on the back which can get clogged and also lead to condensation.

Ok, so I took my fog light apart today and alot of the silver is worn off from the inside. The lens had also partially came unsealed, guess thats where the condensation was coming from. So if I reseal the lens, think it would work or would it still be dim without the silver in there?
