You can try newer bulbs or if your lenses are milky try buffing them back to clear.

Didnt you just post this question three days ago?

I was thinking of doing another upgraded harness for the fogs too. I'm not sure if I want to run another one tho. The wire harness for my headlights is pretty crazy. I might try this later tho since it's the same as the headlights. Are you using a different bulb than the stock recomended bulbs with the harness tho?
