Default Help with Headlights fogging up!

Hey guys i just reinstalled angel eyes BUT my headlights started fogging up after i installed them back on! I used a window cleaner by mcguires becuz them seemed dirty but i cleaned them well! So when i washed the car them started fogging up and as well in the morning when its cool outside and i go to work.

Anyone know how i can keep them from fogging up inside the headlights??

rebake them in the oven take them apart clean them really good to get all the water out and re-seal them but add some more silicone to the seal where the lens meets the housing then when thats dry put a bead of clear silicone around the outside of the seal and it should be a ok after that.

I have to do the same thing on one of my headlights, but that won't be for a little while when I get my strobe kit I will do it.

I wouldn't use silicone to seal the inside of the housing. Too much trouble if you ever decide to take the headlights apart again. Go to a Nissan dealer and buy their headlight sealant. It's like 15 bucks a roll and it works the best because its OEM glue.

if you heat the headlights up in the oven at like 250 the silicone will come off very very easily, I did a couple of times with the tC's lights.
