Default Fog lights question..

Hey guys. I'm running the factory fogs on the 92 GT. I've noticed that the lenses are sorta dark and don't really let that much light out. I've even tried using different bulbs yellow/white and didn't notice any visible difference. Are these lenses naturally foggy looking? Or did mine just fade with time?

They start out clear and cloud up over time due to UV damage.

I didn't have that problem ... at least not that I noticed. Now I'll go out and look and notice they are. Thanks for making me sad, Chad
