Well, with aftermarket headlights you are @ a 60% chance of them getting some moisture in em... I would take both of them off.

First: Take a blowdryer and put it on warm and put the warm air through the back of the housing so that the air is getting it. Then see if the moisture goes away.

Sometimes the moisture MAY leave marks... (water marks) If you get them and are unhappy, then you have to put your tycs in the oven @ 330 degrees for 8 minutes, unclip it and take it apart, then clean em, and put them back together.

If there are no watermarks, then take some waterproof silicone and put 2 layers around the part where the 2 pieces of the housings meet. (So that water cannot get it). Put 1 layer around it, wait like 30-40 minutes, and put another layer on it.

Silicone takes 24 hours to fully cure but, you can still put the projectors on your car like 2 hours later (just make sure it isnt sticky).

Hopefully that helped (:
