Altezza light problem

My altezza lights that i have installed on my car have begun to fog up because i live in montreal and in montreal we usually have cold winters. i went to the car wash and when i came out the lights held in a bit of water and begun to fog. will this go away or is this problem permanent. can i avoid this problem in the future.
thanks

this is not permanent if you fix it. some aftermarket headlightts or taillights are not sealed up good enough. and becuase of the heat inside of the headlights/or taillights, cold air goes to the heat, and gets trapped inside of the headlights.
what you can do is buy a small tube of silicone, and put a layer of silicone all around the headlight or tail lights sides (the part where the front lense meets the backing of the taillights)

Oh yea, there's many topics about this issue. just search for words like "altezza fog" or "fog headlights" and so on.

I don't like them either, although I've had some for a few months. Every light assembly will fog, since it's not air tight. The bulbs in the back are screw-on, so moisture can still get in. Here in Illinois where it's humid, everyone's head and taillights fog up.
