I recently put in HIDs in my fog lights, but the problem was there before doing it, probably due to me changing bulbs. I changed bulbs and put in recon xenon white before the winter and noticed the driver side fog light had moisture in it. It never really left and kind of annoyes me. That was probably due to me putting the bulb in wrong or pinching the gasket, and humidity got in there but it won't leave. I'm pretty sure i got my hid properly inserted now, and i thought the fog would leave on it's own but not. I heard people using blow dryers to get it out, any other ideas? Anybody have this happen before and had success, i'm really annoyed about this.

 

Are you sure it on the moisture is on the inside?
I thought there was moisture on the headlights of my 2001 ram 1500 was on the inside but really, my headlights were oxidated from the outside. I just used Meguliars Ultimate Compound to remove the oxidation, It was pretty fast. There headlights looked like New and I was happy.

 

Well, in my opinion, the best way to do things is to remove the lamp unit off of the vehicle so it is easier to work with. I could tell you how to do that for the headlight assembly, but I don't know about doing the fog lamp. Once you have it off, try to drain out any liquid water in the housing. Then either use a hair dryer to blow warm air into the housing for a while to dry things or see if you can put in a few of those desiccant packets somehow in a way that you can get them back out. Once everything is dry again then you need to put things back together and make sure that it is well sealed up.

Nice thanks Rob i will have to try that, and like you said i think ill have to take the light apart and work like a professional make things right. Will try and dry it up and hopefully i can clean the inside of the glass somehow. I will write an update once i get it done.

 

The condensation itself shouldn't leave any residue on the lens. Just be careful when you remove the lamp unit so you don't tip any liquid water from the bottom of the unit towards the lens. My headlight had a lot of condensation in it and after the blow dryer was done there isn't really any residue that can be seen.
