Did you clear them and not seal them up right?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] I think a hair dryer will evaporate the water out. It shouldn't happen if you get good projectors and don't mess with them. I've heard the Halo ones are a bit leaky.

if they're DIY Cleared, then you should take it apart and dry it out and re-seal it. clean out all that excess sealant. what i did for my fogged altezzas was pull it out...and drill a very tiny hole on top (since you wont be able to see it through the lens, unless u bend over [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]...) to let all the water out...then let it sit there for a few days so all the water will get out...then i re-sealed the sides and the tiny little hole. so far so good...no more fogged altezzas
