i have had this before. check that the rubber caps are on properly. and all bulb holders fitted correctly (no gaps for air)
mine cleared after a few days iirc

if you do a search on here you might find more info on it

put the car in the garage earlier and went out to see if it had cleared up but its just the same!!

i fitted my HID's the other night so its probably to do with that, and i checked the rubber seals afterwards and they were on fine!!
what else could i do? peeving me off a wee bit!!

Ive read about covering the light in tin foil, Taking the rubber cap off at the back and heating it lightly with a hair dryer.

Apparently what some dealers do when they have this problem.

just drive around with the caps off for a bit the ya lights on will clear quickly

another quick tip is to put the lil silcone packets you get when you buy new trainers or a mircowave in your headlights. As these are designed to absorb moisture! Trust me it work... Oh and by the well my HID's were fine in my old headlights seems they steam up!!!
