BRZ Premium Fog light Question

So Long story short I have a 2014 BRZ premium, didnt come with fog lights so I got a stock kit, installed it no problem, however there is condensation in the light housing. Just wondering if anyone who got the limited trim has experienced this issue with the stock fog lights or do I need to seal the area better...

Depending on the design fogging may be normal. Is there a vent hole anywhere in the light housing? Some modern lights are designed to vent to atmosphere.

I have foglights on mine. I've never used them and have not noticed whether they fog up or not. Ironic if they do, eh?

The OE fog lights are so lame they never get warm enough to evaporate the condensation.

Sell them to an FRS owner and spring for the real deals -- they're out there.

Yeah my limited fog lights have worn much more quickly than my headlights. They are shit.

You should get oem forester fog housings and h11 adapters instead
