Exclamation Help!!!!

So I have the projector lights (yes, yes, I know, but dont say anything...Ive heard it all....).....anyways, A cold front came through DFW area today and dropped the air temp pretty good. I went out to my truck and noticed the right headlight starting to fog. So i took a close look at it, saw no actually water inside, just fog. I just got back from my friends apt, and I noticed the entire light was now fogged, except for a small hole where the projector had warmed it up. The thing that gets me is the left is perfectly fine!!!

What solutions do I have to look at?? I really would like to keep them, but want them to not fog.

Can any of you guys help? crashlucky_13???

I have had similar problems with mine. I had them replaced under warranty. But this time I am trying to find some of those little do not eat packs and throw a bunch in there. Like in the rear or the housing.

bump...found a solution. take the bulbs out, use a hair dryer to dry up the condensation, then replace the bulbs after it drys. Then take a tube of RTV silicone and bead around the edges of the housing.

found it on a mustang forum about projector lights....
