I have a QQ J11 Teckna facelift with led headlights i want to change the bulbs in the fog lights to led so all the lights on the front of the car are the same colour.

I think i can just change the bulbs i have seen somewhere that these may be H8 bulbs but i not sure as i have seen other types mentioned,

A few weeks ago I replaced my foglight bulbs with LED's. This week I have noticed that both fog lights have condensated up, which they certainly weren't for the first couple of weeks. I have taken one of the new bulbs out to check the seal is the same as on the old one, which it is. I did manage to disperse the condensation using a hairdryer, but after reassembling, they are condensating up again! Has anybody else experienced this problem, and if so how did you cure it?

Thanks for any advice.
