u probably need to reseal them. and make sure the sockets fits properly for the bulbs. u might be leaking there.
good luck

Well, you definately have a bad seal.... Most likely the bastards that make your headlights didn't think about Canadian weather... Probably there's shrinkage, and/or they just didn't do it right.

My stock headlights get fogged up BAD when I use either a pressure washer, or go through a car wash

I had Telly open them up to black them out, that's why I resealed them 3 times already, and this third time, I put on 3 coats of silicone, and I just found out the driver side fogged up AGAIN.... it kinda dried out on it's own in the past few days fortunately, but I'm still screwed... I'll have to crack em open again, and I'm basically banned from carwashes for the entire winter!

My Projectors always fog up too, even after being re-sealed. I take them out for the Winter and use my stock blacked out headlights instead. They fog up a little too once in a while but it goes away overnight.

yea it sucks...they only fog up after i have the low beam head lights on for a lil while..is this cause of the bulb maybe??? or is cause on the back of the headlights it seems that there are little drain holes...should i seal that up to or leave them open???

cause i can drive for a while in the day and the lights are fine ...im using polarg h1s btw...ne suggestions for a better bulb?

and i know how to aim the headlights...except for the low beam bulb i cant get to the screw which makes it go up and down on the passenger side...ne ideas how to get to the screw?? cause goin through the fender doesnt really help

thanks for all the help..really appreciate it

the bulbs deson't effect it... my lights fog up now only at night time when my lights are on, its because the air inside the housin is cold and when u turn on the lights.... it creates heat and condensation occurs. I think the material of the headlights is just cheap compared to the oem ones. Sealin it again helps but the lights gets fog up once in a while
