Default Fog Light issues !

I washed my car today so after i am done i notice some moister buildup on both fog lights arent these fog lights supposed to be waterproof. There were installed when i bought the SI so its def under warranty plus 1 of my 2500k yellow bulbs blew out because of this. I guess i should bring it in try to get new 1's has anyone else experience this BS with OEM fogs ?

? Did you post that on there website or something ive washed the car many times after the install and this never happened they were both fully tightened and water should not reach behind the fog light casing. I will put the stock bulbs back in and hope this dosent happen again it makes no sense to me how 1 day the fogs just happen to allow water to get inside the casing after many washes oh well i will try to justify this.

honda wont do anything if you put those yellow bulbs in. if you would of kept the white bulbs...there would of been no moisture build up.

Try throwing the stock bulbs back in and take it to them. If they cant find anything wrong, then maybe its the seals on those JDM yellows. Maybe you might have to get new bulbs?
