Condensation in Retros

I have a 07 FX4 and I bought the Depo Harley headlights and had them retrofitted with ls460 projectors from TRS. I had them about 5 days on 3rd day it rained and now I have condensation in my passenger side light cover.
I know this is sometimes happens with new headlights because of differences
in climate but will this go away on its own? If it does clear up and comes back should I just take the the headlight out remove bulb and let dry all day in the sun? Thanks

I wouldn't worry about too much.. I too had alittle condensation in my drivers headlight after I retrofitted mine.

I just left the truck in the sun till it dried up, sealed around the headlight alittle more/better and it solved my problem. Havent had condensation in either light since.

Thats just not satisfactory. You should sell them to me and start over...

But when I get condensation in mine I usually park towards the sun and it dries it out. Or you could try and re-seal. I wouldn't pull them unless it is affecting them coming on.
