is due to the seal has gone? what do i need to do to fix my xenon's?do i need to get new ballast units? or new bulbs? whats the signs if any how do u check?

thanks

it happens all the time take the rubber seals of the back turn the lights on and put strips of maskin tape over the lenses so they are completly covered . the maskin tape will hold the heat in with your lights on and the steam will evapourate out the back of the lights .

mine do it too!! only since putting in my xenons.

if you put tin foil over the lights, or use masking tape so it evaporates out the back, will they not just fill up with condensation again anyway?
 
mines done it as well , so i got a couple of large silica gel backs(big version of the small sachet you get in trainer boxes) just popped it behind the bulb holder just inside the rubber cap.hope this is of use.

Not really, if I wash it or it's been raining heavily they might mist up a little but put the lights on and they soon demist :)

ill then invest in some silica sachets if that doesnt work......dont want it to affect my xenons.
