Default Repair / Replace Front Fog Lights on a 2005 XKR

I have a 2005 XKR and the front fog lights are misted. I want to repair or replace the lights. Does anyone have any suggestions as to whether a repair is possible and if not where I can source replacement lights in the UK.

By misted, do you mean that water vapour is getting in? If so, you might be able to fix it by drilling some vent holes in the grommets. It is a common problem with the main headlight units, but can be easily resolved using this drilling method.

BTW, welcome to the forum

Another simple option is to remove the bulb and dry out the light with a hairdryer. It may not be permanent, but it is quick and simple.
