Angry dealer says it just happens

I have a 2004 V70R AWD, and the front fogs are full of condensation. the dealer told me that it happens because of the damp weather. ISN'T THIS WHEN YOU MIGHT NEED THEM ???? they are not covered under warranty, they can dry them, but say it will happen again.
has anyone else had this problem ???????

No i see many S60's and condensation in the fog lamps isnt a problem i would guess if you have condensation in just one it has a sealing problem which needs a new light , if you have it in both then perhaps you have driven through some deep puddles and they need drying out ! You wouldn't get two faulty lights on the same car as its so rare they get condensation ...

If it continues to be a problem remove them and check them out for leaks ... when proved it's a warranty issue ....

Never seen condensation in the fog lights (though they're behind protectors on mine so might miss it). Have had some in one of the headlamps and it was my fault - replacing a bulp and the seating was slightly out. Took seal off and drove around for a while to make sure it had all dried out then replaced everything more carefully.

Has been ok since then.
