Since the foglight housing assy. is only shielded by some plastic splash panels I can just see steam coming out from around the light when water comes into contact with the hot LED heat sink. Not really a problem so long as you don't turn on the fogs when driving in the rain. Oh I forgot that's probably when you need them the most.
My friend has been running the ones for Toyotas on his Yaris for a while now. Hasn't had any issues with it during the rain, and I don't think he is running any front fender liners. lol. I'm running BMW X5 LED foglights in my Yaris, basically open to the elements, without any issues either.
