Nooooo! I don't know why this is happening! The fog light housing is fogging up! like crazyyy! thought maybe it was the led's i had put, so i put the originals back in after i tried them as best as i could (like 85% dry)

turned the fog lights on for a while, thinking that the heat from the bulb would dry out the remaining bit of water...

got home, fog lights were filled with residue all over the lense! :"(

anyone else have these issues? never modded the lenses or anything... so idk how more water is leaking in......

Warranty claim with the dealership?

It's ironic how my eBay (K2motors) fog lights never had any issues. :D

My 13 is doing this too it started with the passenger side and has now moved to the driver side as well i just put yellow bulbs in right after i bought it like 2 months ago and it just started fogging or getting condensation in them. I took it to the dealer where i bought it and they replaced the housing (or so they said) and it still is fogging up! I will have made 5 trips to the dealer for this issue in this month alone! The service manager is going to call honda for me to see whats going on. Glad to know im not the only one to have this problem!

you dont even have to put the stock bulbs in i didnt i took it there as it was and they didnt care until when they first replaced the housing it still leaked with the aftermarket bulb in so they wanted to put a factory bulb in to see if it was that (which it wasnt)
