    Finally discovered where the "steam" was coming from!
    For those of you with foglights, you'd know that they get pretty pretty hot and in the wet, they do get a bit of water on the lens; it was just water on the foglight lens evaporating and being "sucked in/up" by the radiator fans.

    I think the only way they'd crack is if the temperature changed suddenly, like a good amount of water dropping on them after they've been on and hot for a while. Otherwise they should be fine.
