dam people are rich these days. just because a little fog you replace them. ok if you turn on your headlights for about 20 minutes the fog should clear up. if not take out your bulbs and put them back in making sure they are tightly in place.

The reason that they are getting foggy is because there is a hole somewhere in the seal. If you wash your car or it sits outside during rain you will notice "fog" or actually condensation build up near the top of your lense. The dealer will tell you that "they all do that", guess what-- they don't and they shouldn't. If you still have a warranty demand that they replace them, if not, you can get a new set for around $430.

I have the same problem with my front left one. My car is only 3 weeks old so I brought it to Lexus and they said I needed a new one that the seal in it was not good... They ordered it for me and it is under warranty.... Go to ebay and get one for cheap if your isn't under warranty still......

fog
Turn the headlamps (both high and low) for about half and hour to let the assembly heat up quite thoroughly. Then remove the bulb socket and insert a vacuum cleaner suction hose in its place as tightly coupled as you can, but not so tight to totally restrict flow, run the vacuum for about ten minutes.
Check that all bulb/socket seals are in place and closed tightly.
If the foggy condition returns after a few days, or the next rain, then the seal is broken and you will need to replace the assembly.
