I have some condensation in my fog light assembly and I don't know how to get rid of it:-/. I don't want to waste time waiting for the dealer for two weeks til I get it done. No water inside, just condensation! Help me please!

It should clear up on it's own given a dry environment, or you could pull the bulb and shoot some air in it. I'm guessing condensation will return if not replaced, make sure the bulb is tight.

Yeah I did that and it is tight but I don't understand that, only this car has given me this crap haha. I had my passenger side one replaced under warranty cause somehow water got in..but thanks for the advice. I think I'll get my hair dryer and do that!

Next time you take a drive, just turn on the fog lights. The heat from the bulb should dry it out.

But the condensation will come back if there is any crack or air leak in the housing. So it would be best to have it replaced/repaired.
