IDK what the proper name for this kind of bulb is, but it's right under where you have your stock headlight bulb.. I switched the gay ones I had in there for white LED's.. Anyone else actually use these? If so, what do you have in there?


This is what it looks like when I have my parking lights on..

I almost got rid of it, on the back of the fogs there are a vent with a peace of cloth inside. If u take that away it will improve but not go away completly :(

Just make sure you get the wedge ones.. The others that stick out on the side won't fit..

to fix the fogs you have to drill a few small holes into the housing in between the outer and inner lenses, i believe i drilled like 6 holes all around them in each fog wherever there was a decent amount of room to do so using a small drill bit...then they will cloud no more

for the fogs, try putting it in a frezzer to dry them out
then seal them up and make sure that they are airtight

you dont have to drill.

I fixed that problem on my fogs. I removed the short rubber extension on the vent in the rear of the foglight. Then tossed the round filter/mesh that keeps dirt away. problem is that mesh/filter gets clogged and limits ventilation. THen I replaced the vent extension with a rubber hose about 2 inches. this helps in getting better air circulation. and prevents fogging.
