Angry TYC Projectors finally got moisture in them, suggestions?

I've had the headlights for about 8 months and they've never fogged up on me until now. I heard it was happening to other TYC owners but never read any of the threads.

Anyone know the cause in the TYCs, is it around the bulb where moister is getting in or is the whole unit sealed badly. Anyway if anybody has any suggestions I'd appreciate them.

Thanks

If you really want to be sure, pull apart the headlamp, strip all the stock glue out of it, reseal it with clear silicone really good, than bead some silicone around the rubber seal for the backing and all holes that have any openings. I did this for my RSversion projectors and no fogging.

Yup, Whelan described it well enough But he forgot to mention to clean the inside Sometimes when fogs gets into the headlights it may leave "water" marks.. So, just make sure u clean em, then do what Whelan wrote
