2016/7 Fog Light Condensation

[bakerk2]

I've got a 2017 Z71 Silverado with the LED foglights. Today it was warmish (45) and there was a lot of snow melt. I had gotten out to look at the truck on a stop and noticed condensation in the foglight. I drove a bit more and parked. Looked at the lights and both seemed to have it. After coming out an hour later , it had cooled to 37 and noticed that one of the lights was again clear the other just foggy around the edges of the light. I probably splashed the front with cold snow melt which caused the issue.

 

Do these fog lamps have vents like the headlights? Should they clear up or is this a trip to the dealership for a warranty check? Only got 1200 miles.

Oddly enough......went outside and the lenses are completely clear now. Parked on the dry driveway. Weird.

Tonight again around the edges. 40ish degrees out in NY. Will probably be clear again in the am.......any thoughts?

Your PM isn't accepting messages. Is this a vented unit or is it faulty and needs to be replaced. That's the question? I have 1500 miles on the truck.

take it to the dealer, foglight should not be building up condensation like that. had that issue with a previous car and they fixed it under warranty and as of today, my 2016 silverado crew cab has had zero fog light condensation issues...
