HID's x Aftermarket Headlights = Condensation/Water

HID's x Aftermarket Headlights = Condensation/Water
Happy New Year Guys/Girls,

Recently during the summer I upgraded my headlights. Since I was purchasing new housing I decided to also get HID's. When they were installed during the warmer weather they looked great! However now the temperature has dropped and I notice constant condensation on the interior of the headlights.

At first it was tiny wet spots in the corners but now their covering the whole headlights. I assumed that their might be a leak somewhere so I took off the headlight housing and applied clear silicone adhesive sealant. It didn't work....

Does anyone no a solution for this? Or somewhere that can fix this?

Hi lownslow95,

I applied the adhesive along the edges of the lenses. I am also thinking now that maybe I need air holes drilled in the housing.

Thanks.
