Haven't been on the forums in a good while! Been really busy lately getting ready for grad school. The Vitz has been treating me good however there is only a slight problem I noticed. There is rust forming on the inside of my driver side foglight housing. And they are factory fogs too! Anyone know of any solutions to this or should I just replace them eventually when the rust gets worse?

And how the heck has everyone been?! Missed my YW fam lol.

That.. is indeed weird. That's the last place I'd expect rust to develope short of the interior.

Funky. Obviously water got pooled in there somehow. How long have you had the fogs on the car? I live in a far more wet place than you and my fogs are still good as new (short of the lenses as they're getting a bit scratched up)

I've had them since I bought the car back in September 08. Never noticed one problem till I spotted it a short while ago. And here in Texas it has been super dry for a while now so who knows how the hell this happened.

You could take that to a dealer and see if theyll exchange. That should happen. To me thats an age thing no miles. To soon to rust. Also there rust laws in the US. Well actualy canada .....well ya
