Front Fog Lights
Front Fog Lights
I know around 2003> they changed to the darker colour and different bulb type. But was that it?
The reason why I ask if i'm about to fit my third set, simply due to the fact that they keep corroding! They get condensation in, water gets in and the bulbs corrodes in the back of the unit. Very frustrating and very expensive!!
My question is, is there meant to be some sort of protection like a rubber water proof cover on the backs? Did Lexus modify the later spec fog lights?
And is it only the darker ones that take the different bulbs?
Cheers
I was just wondering if anyone can tell me if there are any differences in the types of front fog lights used on the IS200?

The ones I have (post 03) have a H3 style bulb, with a plastic cap and a rubber seal over the back so the whole thing is water proof.

Would this be a viable option to solve the IS200's fogs misting up?

27-11-2018, 02:10 AM #10Correct me if I am wrong, I think Landrovers have a breather hole + rubber tube on the top of their fog lights do they not? This would allow the water that does get in through the seals to escape in the form of steam through the rubber hose as the lamp heats up the unwanted water???
