Exclamation Foggy Projectors please help

I've had my projector headlights for over a year and all of the sudden the past few days they are fogging up and getting condensation inside, very aggravating. What should i do? can i seal them w/ silicone once they look dry?

ya take em off the car, take em inside, put a blow dryer through the bulb and dry it out, then seal all around with clear silicone. also make sure all the bulb hole are sealed well like the sockets with rubber gaskets.

cannonfolder is an unknown quantity at this point
I also have projector lights.Changed them twice for new pairs and they still do it.I siliconed them,still they fog.They often do it if it is hot outside when i wash my car.Or in winter when driving.Any sudden change of temperature will trigger them to fog.
