Hmmm... had similar problem before with my foglamps. Just didn't mind it since they dried up later anyway.

The problem I had with my stock fog lamps is that the clamps for the cover broke. I think the plastic became brittle or something and just broke. I brought it to the casa and they sealed it off with a silicon sealant and placed cables to hole the cover in place.

SIr RAfRaf, nangyari din skin yan, this week lang. binalik ko sya sa winterpine and they replace the whole assembly plus cover located at the back, pra daw di na matalsikan ng tubig yung likod nya. so far mga 5x n ngyari skin sna last time na eto...

yeah... plus they sometimes croak when it's raining... then after a while they make butete in da water....ay yucky talaga!

hahahaha

sorry could'nt resist riding on this joke :D makita ko pa lang yung title ng thread natawa nako.

anyways...back to topic. In case nagkaron ng fog yung fog lamps because of water condensing inside... quick solution... put some rubbing alcohol inside.. drain, then blow dry with hair dryer. check mo rubber gaskets nung bulb kung maayos pa to make sure that water won't come in again. If you want, pwede ka gumamit ng silicone clear sealant yung mga possible entry points ng moisture and water. hth

Called them up and told them my problem. They said to bring it over. Wow, hope they would replaced my fog lamps (sagwa tingnan nung remedyo ng casa kasi, bakit hindi nalang nila pinalitan). Sayang nga ang warranty, but it never occured to me that I had to get it elsewhere when I had brought it already to the casa. So hindi pala lahat ng meron warranty sa sasakyan sa casa ma-claim?

Ang maganda kasi sa Winterpine, sila yung authorized ng Mitsubishi na mag-install at mag-ayos ng accessories. Kaya madalas pantay or higit pa yung quality of work nila sa casa.
