take them out, take the bulbs out, use a hair dryer to remove the fog from within and then reseal them with silicone.

hm..

how bad are urs? mine was really bad......turns out that my car bumped into an "accident" by the previous owner...i dunno why...

anyway, i went back to my dealer and ask them to replace it with the original one.....they agreed and i got a new one...

anyway, i got the old one....turns out that the seal was bad....and there seem to be a crack on the sealing...

i tried to dry it with haiydryer, however, some of em are pretty bad enough....there are actually drops of water.....

anyway, i put it in my room, and....later on, they got dried eventually.

I'm planning to "cook" this headlight n' clean them...i also want to fix the crack in the sealing and clear the amber side..

MONTREALCIVIC is an unknown quantity at this point
put them in your house for 1 or 2 days and let them dry. the fog will dry up. then silicone and this will fix it. dont use a dryer or anything like that. just be patient.
