Fog light filling with water

They should be, they are generic and fitted in a lot of cars not only Mazda, and also a lot of RX8 is a direct fit in the NC.

The fog lamps themselves are unchanged across all NC versions. Those I took out from my 25AE NC3.75 and from my Niseko NC1 are identical.

Four ways for water to get in,

  1. via the breather tube, it might be pointing up instead of slightly down
  2. if the rubber ring-seal between bulb and lamp housing is missing from the bulb,
  3. if the bulb is loose,
  4. if the lamp housing is broken.

This pair of lamps came out of my 25AE last year when I fitted the Vinstar Fog+DRL kit..
