    Well I walked out of work today and notice my passenger fog light had water and condensation in it. Dam it... Anybody have any recommendations on some new fogs for my 2015 sport? I've been thinking of replacing them anyway...

    Our very own crashnburn80 is almost finished with an exhaustive (and very informative) comparison of all of the most popular replacement fog lights for our trucks. I'd suggest waiting to see what he recommends.

    Take the light off the truck then pull the bulb. Let it sit for a day or two to dry out. Put the bulb back in.

    Buy some hi-temp black gasket sealer. Run a bead all the way around the area where the housing and lense meet. Assuming the glass is not cracked this will fix your problem.

    Happened to me 2 years ago. Not an issue since the fix.

    BD has off road lights that people run in the fog location. They have no cut offs and blind everyone on the road, they should be used for off road use only. What your picture shows is excessive glare.

    KC has legitimate high performing direct foglight replacements which have good cut offs and can be run with oncoming traffic without blinding anyone.
