I got out and left my car running today with the fog lights on and noticed that they are turning black??!! I was in a hurry, figured something was on them and tried to just wipe it off with my finger and it made it worse. Anywhere that I wiped with my finger, the lights turned black. I'm going to the dealer tomorrow b/c I have a faulty fuel cap, so I will inquire about the lights when I go.

isnt that just dirt?....i used windex (or any glass cleaner) and made them look new

 

They are projector lenses. No reason for them to turn black, unless something black got on them. I would try to wipe them with a paper towel with some windex on it when you get a chance.

 

maybe someone tried to f--- you by putting something on them like oil, or worse, paint.

just a thought.

 

yea sounds like maybe an oil issue? not many other substances act like that one does, and on a lense it'd prolly smear and appear to be darker.

 

Could be road tar warmed up enough (by having them on) to smear.....

 

UMM, ok guys, you have to remember that my finger duplicated this effect. I was thinking oil that was on my fingertip, natural body oil that is. I sure hope this is the case. I'll find out soon enough.
