Default Fog in my LIGHTS!!!!

I bought angel eyes a while ago and the right light has fog in it. Do you know how i can get rid of that without taking the whole lens off?

Get new headlights. OEM ones.

What kind of "fog" is it? Is it moisture or does the lense have a yellowish tint to them? Pictures would help out.

bake them for awhile at just over 200 for a few mins or stand there w/ a hair dryer forever. If theyre anything other than total pieces of ****, there should be evap/draining holes just for this reason.

Either way, you should reseal them w/ a bead of silicone sealant all the way around the lens. If you dont, you'll always have this problem.

Big tip: get rid of those things and go back to oem's that dont do this

If its moisture they probably have a crack somewhere or some part of the plastic cover that goes over the headlight assembly isnt sealed and allowing moisture in.

ok OEM lights here, but I blew out some bulbs a while back, I think the store I got mishandled them, because they were taking them out to show people when I cam back for refund...
ANYWAYS...
There are still bulb peices in there, and once in a while, there is condensation on the inside of the lense.

How do I get all of that out?

You are going to need to bake your head light(s) and then reseal them. And if you want the look, you can kill 2 birds with one stone and paint the housings black(I'm assuming you have an ek) giving you the DIY CTR headlights.

make sure you have a rubber cap that covers behind where the bulb is inserted that could cause moisture of water is flipped up from your wheels.
