This just hit me as I've been reading...a most likely exspensive, yet workable fix might be a ring of LED's to go around the opening.

Water ingestion??? This is a non-rain car now.
Just keep my fogs, that's all I ask. As long as they're in, look like they do when the car was stock, and function, I'll be happy.
