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.

 

Is the socket corroded?
Are the wires damaged?
Is the lens foggy?

 

Find the ground screw and clean & tighten. The body
sheet metal connection is always prone to corrosion.

 

They are all fine, the lens was foggy but I took the housing out and set it in front of a dehumidifier and it cleared it up.

 

I meant the actual lens being opaque (frosted) as opposed to condensation.

 

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?

 

I HAVE THIS EXACT PROBLEM...pass. fog light is way dim...and my fogs are sealed fogs from autozone, so there is no condensation....

 

dude, WTF, one of my fog lights it always dimmer than the other. but on mine it seems like the other is way to bright too. like maybe the driver side is takin power away from the pax side. any solutions out there?

 

ttt..

 

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.

 

Alright, I'll check that out. Thanks

 

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?

 

Yes. The bulb radiates light in all directions - 360 degrees and the silver part is a reflector that makes sure all the light ends up going out the front.

 

I screwed with those crap fog lights and wiring for a while then replaced them with quality pieces..
