a fix would be to remove the fog light use a heat gun or hair dryer and cook the fog light to remove moisture, install bulb, and re-install on car

I was joking... fill it up, like a pool and put the bulb back in...

try leaving it with the overnight. BTW did you replace the bulbs in the fog lights? make sure it is seating correctly onto the o-rings. I have never had that happen in all of my cars here in the CenCal

Oh dang, this happen to my headlights. I got a heat gun and just slowly dried it up and it went away. You should try it first instead of wasting your time at the stupid dealerships.. Just a suggestion. But in any case the dealership should replace them for you.

oh yeah something like that. I guess gas build up into the headlights and it got fogged up. Maybe his fog light bulb is loose or something and air is getting inside the fog. Many possiblities if he got aftermarket parts.

not that these "stupid" dealerships won't help with these issues, but unless it's a warranty fix if they can't duplicate it they won't do anything about it.
