Pics are up on my facebook at the mo! But they started off tidy in the day but when the night came and the temp started getting colder they had a little bit of condensation in the in the corner on the bottom?
Does other people that sprayed their headlights get this problem? What can i do? Any suggestions? They are fully sealed with the silicone i used so cant understand why they have condensated a little?
Im thinkin stick a silica gel pack behind the headlight that should stop condensation happening?

One of my mates had this and his simple answer was to remove them and stick a hair dryer inside until they are dried out. Not had a single issue since!

sometimes get this anyway on damp days or after washing car, seem to be prone to it somewhere, would it be possible to stick a pack near the headlight behind it think that is what you were suggesting.
