You might want to get those replaced by the dealer as that should be covered by the warranty.

This is a serial problem? My xas lamps use to fog, but with my silver stars on, they cleared up. I assumed since I am running hids, its cooler and not melting the fog away.

I use to only worry about sealed beams fogging as that ment a leak existed, but most of these projecotrs and fixtures have vent holes in them, including fogs too.

Thanks, I was going to replace them with a dual projector set as the high beams are too low for my needs in rural areas and dark backroads.

Mine were not painted though! If you break the seal to modify I dont think it is covered by warrant as Damage caused by Modifying will viod the warranty!

WIN!!! Best suggestion yet. You can use a black silicone from Lowe's or Home Depot to aid in the seal. :D

You can also put some of the desicant packs out of shoes into the back of the headlight. A lot of HID retrofit guys do that.

Well, if he baked/painted them, I hardly think the dealership is going to replace them. Go bake them again and use some black silicone caulking to seal em up tight.

Did I say the fog was on the outside of the lamps? I dont think I can exchange them case they fog on the outside in cold wet weather.

That's called dew, not fog...
