umm, well, a little foggy? Mine seem to have a light haze on the inside. Can they be cleaned, or is this normal? Maybe it goes away when they are on for a while? 2004 XK8.

NO - condensation in the head lights is a common issue but the fog lights usually stay completely clear.

A haze or film on the inside of the glass suggests you might have a bulb holder not seated properly or a crack in the fog light housing.

Mine had also developed a slightly opaque film on the inside. You can remove the bulb assembly and wipe out the inside to clean it right up.
