Well if it's just moisture, then you can blow dry it by taking out the bulb socket. But it will probably happen again because the bulb holes aren't actually sealed. Mine fog here when it gets humid, but then it goes away. Sealing the actual headlight most likely won't help, because moisture can still get in from the bulb socket holes. So if you're really worried, maybe put some kind of sealent around the holes, but something that you could take out when the bulbs need replacing.

Nah, I just have OEM cleared lights. If you're worried about the water stains, you could try something. But don't blame me if it doesn't work. You can try to spray some diluted alcohol inside from the light bulb hole and then try to dry it all out. Usually it won't leave any streaks behind. Don't use concentrated, because it might dull the plastic.

yea, the moisture will eventually go away. Just take the headlights out and re-seal them again. It took me about 2 tries to finally seal it up real good, now no moisture gets in there.

the moisture will eventually evaporate. however, when you get a car wash, it rains, or gets extremely humid outside, expect some moisture to build back up in the headlights. that used to happen to me all the time. I did a lil research and people said to seal them up with silicone. thats what I did, and it doesnt fog up any more. it took 2 tries though, to fully seal the whole headlight up, if you look closely at my headlights in person, u can see it on the sides of my housing, lol. O well, it prevents moisture from getting in there though, thats all i care about.
