Water / Moisture build up in one of my fog lights
2004 Disco II
Has any one else experinced water / moisture build up in there fog lights ? For some reason my right fog light retains water and mostiure that never goes away and has caused the bulb to blow up many times. Does any one know how I could fix it my self if possible ?

Yep. I picked some up on a water crossing. Mine was the lower right too. Here's what I did...
Borrow a blowdryer from your wife or girlfriend, sister, maybe you have a buddy that's really into the John Travolta Saturday Night Fever look...
Pull the old bulb out, turn the hair dryer on and blow into the hole where the bulb goes until all the condensed moisture is gone, then put your new bulb in.
TADA!
Better if you do this on an afternoon with clear skies. It just means there will be less humidity in the air that could eventually recondense in the lamp.

When doing that, also remove the lower light bulb so you can dry more of it out quicker. If you have a burned out bulb from the moisture remember to replace is sets so you have equal light and color.
