Water in the fog lamps

**calcite** · May 14th, 2005 05:09 PM

Is it a commom problem for the Adventure? My wife has a 2003 GLS Sport and the fog lamps keep getting water. Had it replaced by Mitsubishi just before the end of the 12 month warranty but I observed that there is again some water in the foglamps after just 1-year.

probobly a leak in the gaskets. Our Adventure before had this problem, the reflector was corroded because of this

thats weird, kng sealed yan dpat di pnapasukan ng water. unless torn ung rubber cover sa likod.

probobly a design defect. adventures don't have that plastic cover inside the wheel well to protect the fog lights from water and the other elements during rainy season, might be one of the factors.

Ah fog lamps... :D

Sasabihin ko sana ang frog talagang may water hehe

Yep, baka sa init natunaw/naging brittle ang rubber gasket, kaya pag ulan, pasok agad.

Design defect siguro. My wife's adventure has low mileage, hasn't sufffered any bumps and crashes, and is fairly new (so the original seals must still be good). If it is a design defect, I wonder if Mitsubishi will still replace them (both fog lamps now have water) considering that it is past the 12 month warranty (we've had the vehicle for exactly 24 months). Mahal pa naman isa, the dealer told us that it cost P4,000 each and it is such a small lamp.

Sorry guys, typo error on the "frog lamps". I meant fog lamps. But the way it is, frogs could live in the lamps judging by the way it accumulates water.

get an aftermarket fod lamps nalang. ung bro ko pinalitan nya fog lamps nya early this year for less than 2K. malinaw naman daw ung buga ng ilaw.

bro i have the same prob with my 2003 gls sports, design defect nga yan kc 3x n skin pinalitan yan. outsourcing lng kc yan ng mitsu sa winterpine. try to confront winterpine, 100% papalitan nila yan basta hindi nabasag or nabanga bumper mo.
