Question Fogged Headlights!!!!!!!!Help!

I recently bought some new headlights for my Civic because my stock headlights were fogged up when i bought the car. The new headlights required a lot of work putting them on and now after 3 weeks, these lights have also fogged up on the inside. Is there anyway to "defog" the lights and/or prevent this from happening. I thought the lights were watetight and the seal is good all around. Its just one headlight though. Does anyone have any idea how to unfog and prevent this?????

Mine fogged up during cold and high humidity, but when it gets dry or warm, it would be ok. My friend's car also is like that. No idea.

Easier for the bulb to blow, and dim the light, bad looking, etc.

I bought projectors and they always fog up. They dont give out any light so i went to return em, and the guy told me to adjust the mirrors but that didn't work. i had to replace the bulbs after two weeks. they still dont give out any light but they look sick

must be the halo projectors like mine right? lol, they have a bad light output. Anyway, to help stop the fogging up inside the headlights, you should try putting some silicone around the edges. My projectors always used to fog up, they still do, but not as much after I applied some silicone. Hope that helps ya out.
