When did you notice it? Is it bad?the picture is quiet small mate
Well something is causing an issue in my fog lamp
Interesting. Possible water ingress? I know my NS one has let in water ever since I hit a muntjac with the car :bang:
Then again might just be poor quality of parts knowing Fiat
I noticed it on mine it bugged me bigtime,and also noticed it on a few local Bravos,but didn't think it was such a biggy

That's the way mine started to go yellow at the bottom then it spread!!!!

The local dealer tried to imply that the lamp was damaged by pressure washing, it never was in my ownership but possibly was during dealer PDI before delivery but yellowing only apeared between 15 and 18 months old!

Ah typical anything other than helping, there are some available on ebay for replacements
If you click the picture it opens up mate

And in not the first to have this issue, in fact there was one on here recently that was much worse than mine. It definitely always seems to be the drivers side lamp as well.
Can of worms comes to think of it old bravo had raised massively inside the fitting
Checked mine, never noticed before, but the same
Wow I really have started something now just out of curiosity can everyone have a check and let us know,
Mine has done it too. My car sits in the sun for most of the day so I figured it was related to that rather than water ingress. Again it's worse on the drivers side but that's the southern side when the car is on the drive. As this subject has been raised has anybody found the plastic on the air vents has changed colour over time? Again I blame the sun because the one in the rear is like new still.
That's interesting Jay, I have upgraded my bravo so thank god mine are all good so far but I will be keeping a beady eye on them suckers,but on my 57 plate they both bubbled right under the tip of the lamp,
As I said in a previous lead that I put it down too the indicating fog lights which on this model I have the option to turn off,
If you have had the issue what year is your Bravos?

This has nothing to do with the sun. My cars sits in a garage or in shady place most of the day. Plus, the fog lights are not under any direct sunlight and the burned spots are only under the bulb. So it's pretty obvious it's a cheap plastic under the bulb which cannot cope with the heat from the bulb.
Pretty minor issue though, haven't thought about it at all since discovered it about 3 years ago.

I agree or the high intensity of the lamps and cheap plastic,
It is a total shame though

Mine also has this issue a 1.4 57 plate with 79k on the clock. I assumed the previous owner had maybe fitted a HID kit in the past but it seems not
Nope it seems to be a poxy fault lol.even at StanFord hall I said to tom with the blue bravo "very nice" have you had the issue with driver's fog, he said nope I had a look said you may want to check hehe he will curse me when he washes that part of the car "swift you swine" lol
