    fog light moisture

    Now that I'm out of warranty I have moisture in my fog lights. I see several others have had this problem and had them replaced....Is there a fix for this without replacing the entire unit?

    generally speaking most lights will have a removeable lens, removeable bulb housing or sometimes both.

    if it has a removeable lens they sometimes have an o-ring. if not then they just have a ridge they seal against. you can use a light coat of grease around the ridge to seal it, or a VERY light coat of silicone adhesive. the silicone seals the best but is a PITA when you have to change a bulb.

    if it has the removeable bulb they usually have a rubber boot or o-ring - make sure it's in good condition and replace as necessary.

    if it has both then use a lot of silicone and seal the lens tight.

    Some light bulbs dont exactly mate up with the foglights... that was my problem.

    Does the condensation go away after a few minutes of fog light operation? Keep in mind in winter you are gonna see a LOT more condensation, especially if this winter is as cold as experts predict.

    I had to pull the light housings out and pull the bulbs as mine had quite a bit of water in them.

    So if you can take them out on a sunny dry day or place them in a warm dry spot with bulbs removed. Let them dry completely and then insert the bulb before you re-install them on the XK this will allow you to examine the fit of the bulb.

    Once I did this I didn't have another issue.
