  • GTI fog lamps

    Does anyone have any info on removing the foglamps from my GTI?
    The inside of each lens has moisture on it, a result of stupid me crossing a flooded weir last weekend!!

    I wouldn't stress. They're designed with vents on them to exhaust moisture. Leave them on while driving and the moisture will evaporate out.

          Yes, you need to take the front bar off to remove them properly.

            If you can, just take the bulbs out so that the light cavity can "breathe" through the opening where the light bulb goes in. Sit your car in the sun for a while and let them dry out that way. I had this problem with a Commodore once, and that how I did it. Worked a treat. Let me know how you go.

              Wouldn't this moisture problem be covered under warranty? A bud of mine had the same thing happen, but to his headlights.. Dealer sorted it out for him
