Front Fog Light clouded with condensation

[TomServo]

Just returned from a 2K road trip where we drove through torrential rain and my left front fog light lens is completely covered in heavy condensation. It doesn't appear to be clearing up on its own.

Is there an easy DIY fix or do I need to take it in for service? Any suggestions/advice is appreciated.

it should dry out

it should dry out

That’s what I was hoping to hear, is there anything I can do to accelerate the clearing?

My fog light kept getting heavy, condensation off and on but by now it’s had condensation for months and we’re well into the dry summertime, with no car washes having happened. When I was in Tesla Service for something else I mentioned it and they said all they could do is replace it (no warranty) with the same type of unit which often leaks that way.
What to do? Thinking of drilling a couple of tiny holes in the back if I can get to it.

My 2020 left front fogged really bad after driving through a heavy storm for HOURS. Mobile Service replaced it and it never leaked or fogged again and that was back in 2021.

My March 2023 M3 has condensation in the left rear taillight and it did once before right after purchase
Now I’ll have it replaced under warranty
