de-fogging fogs...
 
...my foglights are full of condensation.

Anyone got a procedure?

Zip,

Remove the rear cap, remove the bulb and use a hair dryer or similar to dry out. there are 2 rubber tubes either side at the rear of the housing. They are supposed to vent the body. Make sure they are not blocked.

Foggy fogs are a pretty common thing on most cars... Interestingly enough, they don't get deemed faulty by the manufacturers unless they won't clear up in a certain amount of time (5-10 mins). Wife has one on her car and Vauxhall wouldn't swap it out, garage claimed that's pretty standard. Gits.

policeman: "any reason for driving with your foglights on son?"

me: "yes officer i had them on to dry out the condensation that had appeared on the lens"
