I've heard if you take the foglight out and drill a small hole in the top and 1 at the bottom to let the housing breathe, that will get rid of the condensation

I get the moisture problem too, I've got two small holes from rock chips. I usually take a hairdryer to them and it evaporates in a few mins.

When replacing 1 burn out fog light. Do we replace in pair or just the borken one? Just found out one of mine is dead. Are they pretty easy to replace?

They are really easy to replace and therefore the fog lamps are easily and usually stolen.
