Tail lights fogging up?? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just noticed that after a wash, both my front fog lights fog up.

If the lights are fogging up it's most likely thanks to poor installation. I was concerned about this when I bought mine it had some condensation in the right rear brake light; couple of months and a whole lot of washes and it hasn't happened again.

Here's a whole thread dedicated to this issue, with some different reasons as to why it happens - http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...ighlight=water

This should not happen, go in and check your globes are correctly inserted, there is a rubber seal that seals the housing.
LED DRL globes will also help, very little heat from LED.

My tail lights were replaced last week. Let's hope there is no defect on this set.
