Default The "O" ring fix works.

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/35713/img_3144.jpg"></center><p>Well, if I'm wrong, I wouldn't be surprised. Taking into account my history. But I'm pretty damm sure. Today was a classic fog day for my housings; it rained, and there was a 20 degree swing in the temp. NONE, REPEAT, NONE. Then for good measure, I came home and washed her. OMG the salt. Again, no fog. I do have silica canisters in both, but they fogged w/ them in there a month ago, before the O ring fix. If you are fogging into $600 headlight housings, I would stongly recommend tackling this. It's easy. Housing LED mod next. Oh, and big brother says I can't have injectors w/ my Tip. :-( But that story is not over yet.
Peace.
DD.

Default I have an alternate fix that seems to be working right now but I am waiting for more rain first

before I post my fix to the problem.

Ever since I did a real 'Band Aid' solution to my fogging problem I haven't had any condensation appear in my housing either.

In any case the issue was water seeping past the OEM O ring and getting into the housing.
