Ok so i work at night so i use my headlights alot. well tonight before work it was rainy and foggy so sweet ill put my fog lights to use. i start my car and let it warm up while i smoke a cig and pace around my car . i noticed i have like smoke? steam? coming off of my passengers side fog light or out of my engine by the vents just on that side. my rear foglight seems to be putting out some too. im wondering whats going on everything runs ok no over heating. (worrying) help please.

its not alot by any means but enough to worry me

 

It might just be heat from the bulbs causing some water to evaporate and make steam on the outside of the light

 

thanks thats what i was hoping

 

My front passenger side fog light does the same exact thing. So hopefully we're just in the same boat and nothing is wrong.

 

I have condensation that forms on the inside of my headlight ;-( but I haven't seen any steam yet. I am guessing that I have a bad seal around my headlights, it hasn't cause me an issue yet.... but anyway, wondering if its a similar situation. Do you see any condensation on the inside of the light cover?

 

i dont think its a big deal either...just try it again and see if it does it again

 

bottle cap: yea it does it like every time.

69 fingers: no condensation inside for me.

drobrt: where do you live what type of climate? i dont know might have something to do with it?

 

does it smell like burning plastic or anything?

 

Does it do that when it's NOT raining??? If so thats bad, if it only does when it's raining then it's just water evaporating. No worries.

no, no burning plastic

p.b. only when its damp or rainy out. but y would it only do it on my right fog light?
