Do these fog lights trap moisture when it rains causing the inside to get fogged up? Aftermarket lights are often not sealed as good OEM.

I installed these lights about 8 months ago and there is NO moisture at all inside the sealed housing.

Yes they are. There is a weather strip inside to protect the interior. I have 8 of these lights as a pathway and it get very flooded because we get a lot of rain and they are working no problem. You shouldn't have any issues. I love them, they work so well and are pretty bright.

I have installed two outside in a lighting fixture similar to the "Nautical Outdoor Burnished Bronze 8 in. Outdoor Wall Light" sold on Amazon.com, mine was purchased locally . The fixtures protect the lights from direct rain and are inside a glass globe, however it is not sealed with a gasket.They run from dusk to dawn on a timer. To date I have had zero issues.

I'm not 100% sure b/c I didn't have fog lights. But I will say this, they plugged directly into the headlights so I would say they shouldn't effect your fogs.

They arent fog lights they are flood lights. Very bright off road lights. But the package contains 2 lights

No, these lights are sealed and should not allow any water to get inside of the lens.

Yes - it has gaskets that exclude moisture. Unfortunately, mine died and the cost of shipping to the US made a mockery of the warranty. The 'driver' that controls voltage to the LEDs died for no apparent reason and this is not something that can be fixed. Great flash-light - pity mine died so quickly. :0(

I have had no errors in my F150 as fog lights, but they aren't a directional beam fog light like you may be used to.

We found the same thing after we had already ordered received and installed the new light (which we bought here instead of the dealer's because of the large cost savings). My husband was a mechanic for 35 yrs and said certain types of connectors were more prone to it than others (we had two Volvos that he tracked down numerous electrical problems to them). He always puts connector grease on any fitting after trying to clean it with a very fine file, sandpaper, or solvent (and then blows it out with the air compressor before installing the new fitting with connector grease). We have been running this same light we bought on Amazon since 2008 when the 2007 factory installed light failed and have not had to buy another one. If they are exposed to a lot of waterspray like his fog lights, he sometimes puts a high heat silicone over them as well.

I bought 2 sets of these lights, have them up now for 3rd year. I saw a couple of negative reviews back then, but mine are still functioning fine, in harsh Michigan winters. The tubes are sometimes fogged up when it rains, but they just dry out. (The slight amount of heat from the LEDs when running will do it -- sunshine dries it out faster.) That said, they arrive with no directions for assembly. It's not difficult to assemble, but one should be careful putting the connectors together; a small drop of lube on the connector nuts will help. They're keyed to be obvious, & I put 2 light sets on 1 controller/power supply, with the add-on extension cable, included. I bought 2 sets of these lights, have them up now for 3rd year.

not it does, these don´t fit directly into the fog light holes. it has other form and don´t fit correctlly. the light goes out of the road. you may have correccion on the supports and some changes. Really i´m very ungry with that. but i live out of the USA and i´ll spend too much if i want get back the item. (sorry my English. I´m Spanish spoken)

I too was apprehensive in regard to these, namely due to the price...with that said I've paid more for crash replacement parts on customer cars that were in much worse condition out of the box. It's rained almost non stop here for the past weeks, combined with huge temperature fluctuations, and the lights have been issue free/condensation free.

Mine was under an eave but it still got wet once in awhile, no major in it and it did have some bulb seals on it. Has anyone else on here mounted this out in the open?

I haven't had the fogging problem others encountered. When it rains water drops do make the image cloudy. Just cleaning the lens after it rains has worked for me.

My experience has not been as positive as the other responders in wet weather. The light was mounted to my seat stem and the water flung from the rear tire hit the bottom of the light and even with the rubber plug in place water gets into the light. I don't ride in rain very often (maybe 3 times over the past year), but the water has caused the electronics to corrode and the light now will not charge.

I haven't had a issue with moisture in the headlamp but the day after I put mine on went thru the car wash and had moisture in the corner lamp. Not high quality but cheap replacement

No, they aren't fog lights. I don't trust what Amazon says fits. Go to a website like Napa or Advance Auto parts and see what they say. Owner's manual for the car is best though.
