    I think you've just got to replace them. I don't think you can bake it open like the headlights. If you don't usually use them on road, caliraisedled just came out with brackets to mount led pods on the fog location.

    Probably a bad bulb seal. Take the bulbs out, let them sit for a day in the sun and put the bulbs back. Double check the grommet on the bulbs.

    Dang those are sick. I might end up doing that. Should I be in a rush to get that water logged fog out or is it ok to sit there for a while until I can order these ?

    lolol I just don't want him to be one of those D bags riding around with these on in nice weather, blinding everyone! I'd run the ambers in shitty weather though, with no remorse.

    Yeah, it's their lights. I don't know if I'll make the switch since they don't look to be as wide spread as factory fogs, but it's impossible to tell from pics alone.
