2004 LX470 Passenger Fog Light Dim (1 Viewer)

[Chibu]

Replaced the passenger side fog light bulb some weeks ago. Also took apart the housing to get gunk out of it. The housing seems to have a leak that lets in water and humidity. In the mornings you show up to the car and there's dew on the inside of the housing. I don't know if I messed up the reflective material or whatnot on the housing when I was cleaning it. I used a damp microfibre towel to just scoop the gunk away. Anycrap the bulb is dim asf inside the housing compared to driver side. Any fix? What's the issue?

There is the driver side light.

There is the passenger side light (the dim one).

I think maybe I should have just posted this image and said "help me."

It's a VERY reflective surface inside the housing. Even a thin layer of gunk left behind by a damp towel will cause what you see.

Your best bet is gently wiping with ISO alcohol and blow drying with something like a can of air duster.

Duly noted, will rectify. Thanks.
