Mine were about the same before I took the flap off and had the bulbs unplugged for a day.  They are better but not perfect.  I need a warm sunny day,  with the front of the car in the sun to really dry them out.  Roll on August...

To remove the light unit is a bumper off job as the fastenings are behind the grill

I'd see your dealer as per my earlier post.

You'd trust a dealer to take your bumper off???

I know you had your issues - remember reading your original post.

I guess it's down to lady luck and the dealer - I've been realtively lucky with mine - not great but not bad either

If your fog light is faulty like the picture shows then there is no option other than let the dealer sort it. just be sure when you get the car back you really check it over. They have a habit of not giving a sh!t with customers cars.

Personally I would get the part on warranty and fit it myself. That's what I did the last time.

I'll see if I get them dry myself first and if not contact dealer. They use their bodyshop for their warranty work and the manager is sound, he renovates vintage bikes and his mrs restores campers and they seem to cascade that level of care to their team?

I've had my headlights steam up few times after cleaning might book it in for inspection, I'm sure they will blame it on being tuned
