First of all, hello everyone! I have been reading the forum for quite some times now but this is my first time posting.

I have seen this topic posted before but I cannot find it now. I recently notice there is condensation inside my fog light housing that will not go away. Has anyone of you had this problem before and how do you solve it?

Thanks in advance.

I haven't had any issue with the FX, but from previous cars I've owned, when the sealant between the housing and lens is cracked, it allows moisture to get in. I took regular sealant and went over connection points and that solved it. Not sure with the FX fogs. Someone will surely chime in..
 
from your signature, you have hid fogs right?

most likely the bulb is not seated correctly into the fog housing, oring seal is bad or you have a crack on your fog light. One member here (626fx) had some problems with water inside his foglight, but was fixed by replacing foglight (he has a crack in his). Yours sounds like the bulb is not seated correctly.
 
Hope its as Merch said, just try to reinstall to see if they seat in the housing tighter, but....

Not sure with 08's but condensation in the fog light housing was common with some after market bulbs for a lot of us. Seems that the seals around the bulb base are not as thick as oem bulbs.

At one time I took the seals off a second set of Höen bulbs to put that seal directly on top of the other seal to make it thicker. Didn't work, still got condensation in the housing. Tried another brand (yellow fogs) forget the brand, and still got condensation in the housing. I was constantly blow drying one or the other housing out after a rain. With the hid fogs I have yet to have this happen again.
 
i had a lot of water in the housing and whenever i washed my car more and more would get in, eventually it stated to rust and now im getting it fixed so im chilllin
