Tyc Projector Headlights Haze in lens

I installed my Tyc projector Headlights and followed the forums on here that suggested to seal them with silicon to prevent fogging! My lights didn't fog up. But I've noticed on the top part of the lens a Haze developed and i'm wondering what caused that haze and if anyone else has this problem.

Thanks guys for responding. I'll be posting up pictures soon as I get them. Though
It's not condensation that caused the haze in the upper part because I park in direct sunlight and its been over a week already and the haze is still there.

i took apart my tyc lenses and cleaned off some "dew" if you will, from the projector lense itself and my light output was much better.

tyc headlights

I have a set of tyc black housing projectors. One of my headlights has a yellowed look to it but other one dosn't! Was going to seal em up and add another halo this weekend but dont know if its worth it! Cant figure out if its because I dindt seal em up the first time, or if the lenses just tend to yellow on these from the sun.

oxidizing due to UV rays. it happens to the best of us. you can try to polish the lenses (dont DIY unless you have a good buffer) or just give them a good cleaning.

It dosn't seem to happen to stock lenses at least not nearly as fast. Has anyone ever swapped stock lenses with tyc or other aftermarket ones?
