Icon2 Moisty Headlights

first off.... Happy New Year!
Okay here's the situation, a few months back i bought a set of Replica type r black housing headlights, whenever i would wash my car they would get all moisty from the inside, since it was only a little part and it would quickly clear up i didn't pay too much attention to it. But with the recent rain we've had here they both did it, the right side clears up pretty quickly but the left side is still all moisty(pic's below) anyone know what i can do to stop this from happening anymore?

water is getting in and evaporating inside your headlight housing.
but the lens stops it from going up up and away.
remove your headlights and check ALL YOUR SEALS! even the ones that hold the lens to the healight part. and where you put in the light bulb

This is why you shouldn't buy cheesy aftermarket lights. Make sure the drainage hoses on the back are clear of any debris/spider webs. These let air in/out of the lights and keep them clear of moisture. I wouldn't bother going through the trouble of removing the lens of the light, I'd just gob on a bunch of good silicone around the seal.

Ps. You should probably try to fit your cf hood a bit better.
