What do you mean by foggy?

Do you mean they need to be refinished or that there is moisture in the headlights?

There is a difference, you will see both occurrences on here, and you should have searched before this thread was started.

theres moisture in them, but i'll have to take them off since i've tried using headlight restorer and that doesnt work.

taking them apart and resealing them should do the trick. There are DIY's on that.

There are product recommendations on here as well as to what you can use to reseal.

be like it is
fog = bad drainage

3-5 3/16" holes in the bottom of the housing should do it.

*edit* oh wait, didn't read enough.

you meant there was moisture in them.

yeah that happens, ryan's right about the drainage being necessary to stop that from happening.

on some headlights there's actually like a little rubber tube coming from the bottom or back of the headlight.

Then drill those holes?

aftermarket vent systems suck...

when i vent headlights, i put the holes at the lowest points so if theres enough condensation, it will drip down and gravity does the rest.
