    you might have to reseal it...with some sealant...OR...it could be that vent hose...thats letting water in...you might want to put some sealant on where the hose meets the backing of the headlight assembly

    so..

    where the front cover ( shield )...along that ..you might have to take the entire headlight out for this...

    and CAREFULLY put the sealant/silicone "clear" along it...and around that vent hose!!!

    Good luck mayne


    anyone else know anything I don't ....help this feller out...im just giving BASIC help

        Thanx bro, but I really dont have time to remove bumper and then light to reseal it. That particular light have fogged up before after getting wet/cold when I washed my car but never like this. Anymore info people?

          when i had them before i used to run into the same problem all the time .aftermarket parts sucks. the silicone they use is nothing similar to the oem one . take em off before you get water into your electrical system and switch to jdm 1pc's . it will set your car off .

            well, the low beam bulb should be H3 and high beam H1 but its fogged up thru out the entire light. I got HIDs so I guess that enough heat. This happen to a set of tails I had so i drilled 3 small holes and when they cleared up that never happened again. I dont wanna but if putting holes will solve the problem then I dont mind(just seal the holes after)

              True but thats gonna be expensive because i already have $150 POS headlight and a $240 HID kit so If I change to JDM 1pcs that a next $3xx.xx for the ones i want then I'll have buy new HID bulbs ti fit in those....

                  ok, resealing will stop the fogging from coming back but what takes it out?? Buying new headlights are not an option currently so I just want to get the fog out then worry about avoiding the prob in the future.
