Re: Foggy tail lights...
 
Hey, I have an idea. Get an American car!
My guess is that your car is too light, made of cheap plastic parts and
sounds like a humming bird farting in a coke bottle. My guess is the people
behind you are laughing so hard, that they are indeed fogging up your tail
lights with their breath.

just an idea

Re: Foggy tail lights...
 
it's most likely that the seal between the light housing and the car body is
leaking. easeist solution is to remove the light housing, check the seal -
order a new own if you can, and seal it with some clear silicon..
