Today my freind told me my drivers side foglight was out, I thought damnit I gotta replace the bulb. Right before hand I noticed some condensation in the bulb and I thought ****! After battling with it I finally get the assembly out. There was a ton of murky water in there along with...rocks. How in the HELL did rocks get inside the housing?! The bulb was completely smashed up.

Look if you can find the opening. I noticed my drivers side is foggy as well. Time to buy a Cobra bumper

I have the same issue with my passenger side (except no rocks lol). I'll be replacing with clear fogs with some tint soon enough. It's not anywhere near my priority list as when I do it I'll be buying HID fogs and I don't wanna fork up the $350+ just yet. I have more important things to do.

Oh, and don't you love Jersey? Where about in Jersey are you? Welcome to STANGNET!

I got mud in mine somehow, and it blew a bulb up. Those beeyotches are expensive.

Go it's the most fun you'll ever have. I havent broken anything yet. It's unlikely you will. We have the same mods yet I'm an automatic and convertible. We should run em.

When I bought my car one fog light was darker then the other, I thought it was just a smoked one. Well it finally blew out (going down the strip noless), and when I took the old one out it had wate and mud all in it, wiped it out and it was the same color lens just dirty. I want to get a set of the CDC quad foglights, they look awesome!

had the same problem with my driver side fog. Blew out because of water in the housing. No rocks! I removed it and cleaned it up, then took silicone and resealed all the seams. New bulb. However, its still darker than the other side, still the original bulb from 1999.
