Condensation in foglight? - SRT Forums

IBLIS · 02-01-2005, 08:30 AM

I just noticed it today when I went to do the Yellow Foglight mod...

Is there anyway to battle this, or am I stuck buying a new foglight???

If I can fix it, I'll paint them today. If I'm screwed, I'd rather match the coats of paint in one shot. Figures...

Take It Back To The Dealer....

My passenger side fog lamp was fogged and the dealer replaced it under warranty. There have been a few others with this problem here.

hmmm, i have the same problem with just my passenger side but then again i hit a possum when the car was only 2 weeks old

i've replaced my silverstars twice already and it keeps popping the filament... you think it has something to do with the moisture inside the lense?

They keep blowing because Silverstar does not make a bulb for that application yet. What people are using for foglamps are not designed for our car. Silverstar said they are going to make one soon and said what people are using now is incorrect, hense the problems.

Thanks guys, guess I'll let the dealer deal with it

My 03 always seem to get a bit of condensation in it, but and room temp. it would go away. My 04 doesnt have any. I dont think thre is much you can do for it.

Silver2003SRT4 · 02-05-2005, 10:50 PM

ya i went to the dealer and they said that dodge says that if u leave the car in a room temp room and leave ur fogs on for 15-20 mins and the condensation goes away they are fine

I CALL B.S.

Because it comes basically right back ...... well after a wasted day of taking my car to the dealership and a wasted phone call to DCX complaints.....

the end result ..... this condensation is normal and perfectly fine....

i think i might call and cancel my extended warranty if dodge isnt going to warranty anything......

I would call and cancel it. Extended warranties are such bullshit. Call and get your money back.

Im having the same problem, would they BS about any mods on the car? I know its just a foglight replacement...

castrol · 02-07-2005, 03:16 PM

Replaced mine, no questions asked. That is what the rubber seal around the
foglight bulb is for... to keep condensation out. Geez, I don't know where you
guys find these Techs or Service Writers. Wow. Mine got so bad, the bulb actually
exploded in the housing, filling it up with unremovable glass.

Same issue here but on BOTH foglights. I'll try me dealer and see what they say.

SyVoL · 04-06-2005, 12:28 PM

Yep dealer replaced both my fogs and housings under warrenty.. But I think they said there's a 12,000 mile warrenty for lights. that's what I was told... I actually had water sloshing around in the bottom of the light, not just condensation in mine..

evo77 · 04-06-2005, 12:35 PM

Damn...I'm at 27k.

IcoolerthnU · 04-07-2005, 09:19 AM

passenger side fog light got... well... foggy with condensation. Replaced by the dealer no questions asked.
