Default HELP!!!! Moisture in fog lights again!!!!!

Both of my parking lamps fog up whenever I wash my 2003 Coupe. I have had them replaced twice at my local dealer. I just got my car back from the dealer today, and both of the lamps fogged up after the porter washed it. Does anyone elses corvette do this? Any fixes? The dealer will keep replacing them, but isn't there a seam I could seal up or somthing??

I'd put some mark on the set you have and see if they're actually replacing them. It wouldn't surprise me if they weren't.
I don't remember having problems with mine and I ended up upgrading to the PIAA 1100X. What are they saying the problem is anyway?

Yes, I have had this problem too. Not much can be done really. On my '99, I had this problem. The dealer ended up driling a small hole in the bottom of each lamp housing and that seemed to help a bit (must have let some of the moisture escape).

I've got the same problem with my left side. it's I'd rather live with it than have a dealership "fix" it

Heck, can't even see mine well enough to tell if I got a problem.
