I recently installed a pair of winjet fog lights for my 16 3IS. I swapped the bulbs they came with for some nice switchback LED bulbs. Everything has been good for at least 3 weeks now maybe even a month and this morning walking to my car I realized there was a significant amount of condensation build up inside the passenger fog light housing. I haven’t taken a deeper look yet and am not looking forward to possibly having to remove the front bumper again to remove the housings to inspect. I am guessing it’s either the bulb isn’t sitting/seated correct or possibly a bad gasket / seal? Has anyone ever experienced this? Any advice is helpful!
Anything aftermarket, I always reseal with clear silicone to minimize any condensation issues.
I should have done this before they were in. I guess I’ll attempt to remove the housings from the wheel Wells before I actually have to remove the bumper 😫

Did you have to remove the front bumper to do this the 1st time? It all looks accessible from inside the wheel well.
Looking to get the winjet setup next whenever I get around to it.
Sorry to hear about the water...was the fitment for the bulb you switched out the same as existing? Is the bulb housing like a normal fog light?

I have an F-Sport so I did not have anything from factory. I had to remove the front bumper not only to remove the stock shrouds but to run the wires and tuck them neatly (ocd). You can swap bulbs easily from the wells but It would be extremely difficult in not impossible to install without having to remove the entire bumper.
