Condensation in Fog Light Housing
So it has rained heavily in the bay area this past week. And i started to see condensation in both of the fog light housing. But after removing it, i discovered the passenger side has a crack near the bolt. While i couldn't find anything wrong with the driver side housing.
What do you think I should do, the crack looks quite big. I am already out of warranty.

Mine has a ton of water in it too, was like that when I bought it and get $750 off the price, but that wasn't enough. From lexus a housing with AFS/HID is like $1100. I would say dry it out really well, silicon and gorilla glue on it and give it a go.
Mine had enough water that it pooled and shorted the ballast - have all the parts to fix just am waiting until its nicer here to try and fix on my own.
Ebay has a bunch for ~$400 which may be an option

just dry out the housings and seal the crack. as for the drivers side, you can try putting the housing under water and check for bubbles. if there's bubbles then theres a crack or broken seal where the bubbles are coming out from. then dry out the housing and seal up the crack. if there arent any bubbles, then the place where the bulb goes into the housing might have been improperly installed. check that too. goodluck finding it!
