Was the clear corners a name brand? Sometimes, you get what you pay for.

I've researched them a liitle and this is common problem I have seen on other forums.,

Make sure that your gaskets are good on the bulb socket. Use some dielectric silicone when you install the bulb.
If all that is good take some time to seal the seams on the housing.
The two halves are bonded together and there may be some leakage that you could seal with a clear plastic adhesive cement.

Mine are APC. What is a "good one" ?

Mine are EBay specials. My suggestion would be to make sure that they are clipped in both spots. When installing them put the end near the door in first then push on the center one.

I do not have anything in concrete. Have just read that APC is the only one to make corners to work with factory fogs and that they were not as good as others. I have thought about clear corners and had I chosen to get them I would have eliminated the factory fog lamps anyway. IMO the factory fogs are next to worthless.

I lost a best friend due to fog and lack of stripes on a newly resurfaced section of I-75 near Dayton, OH in the seventies. I have pretty much kept up with fog lamps and ones that you cannot adjust are worthless. The sealing of the sections of the aftermarket corners seems to work but, why would I want to do that if, the item was supposed to be a "plug-n-play"?

Sorry

Keep it to clear corners, I know

I have adjusted my factory fogs, and with the 55w upgrade they are functional. Not the best , but not worth eliminating, IMO.

Guess that i did just want to add that they are not "fixed" position and can be adjusted.

I guess should have added that they are not "easily" adjusted and may as well be fixed in my case. They never held their position and after taking my grille on and off for one mod or another for what seems like a hundred times, I gave up. It's now a moot point since my grille/brush guard is partially blocking them anyway
