Default Washing my car today... noticed a little condensation in both fog lights...
Is this normal or should I be worried?

I'd keep an eye on it, they should be watertight.

Default Jim - Qn for you..
I read in the archives that you're running upgraded bulbs for your highs right? Any issues with melted wires or yellowed reflectors? Do you think it would be "safe" to run 100W in the fogs?

TIA!

No problems so far. I only use 'em when I need 'em, I do not usually turn them on as running lights

Default how long at a time do you run them? do you think it'd be safer putting the 100W in the fogs?
TIA!

Default Sometimes hours, I run'em in bad weather. As long as the car is moving, i.e. air cooled, I don't
think there is any problem with 100 watt bulbs. Certianly no melted wires, overloaded electicial problems at all.

That is not to say they would be a problem with the car standing still for a long time, I don't know, but I know the housings do not get hot when the car is rolling!
