Haven had any problems with mine so far.

If the bulbs were taken out in a high humidity area then taken outside to a cooler area it doesn't matter how well sealed the housings are, the moisture got in when the bulb was out in the humidity. This could happen even if the seal on the housings is perfect.

If it does go away, it probably snuck in that way. If it keeps coming back, then you probably need to seal the housings better.

When you guys installed the Winjet headlight and they fog up, did you notice the change of HID color?

My right side Winjet headlight fog up, and after that I realized that the HID light from the right side headlight is really BLUE when I see them from a certain height/angle/position. From other angle or position, the color is just white. I got a pair of 5000k bulb so they are not supposed to be blue.

Foe the left side headlight, the HID light is always white whether which angle I look at them from.

Thank you.

Sounds like a normal HID bulb with multiple colors in it's beam pattern. But if it's really bad, switch bulbs to opposite side and see if it does the same thing happens on the left like it does on the right.

so you mean I might installed the on of the bulb upsidedown so they are different?

And might not be a 8000k bulb because on other angles the left and right side are the same correct?

Thank you.

I drove my car in the rain a few times and I didn't have any problems with fog until I washed my car. Now I have fog in my right headlight.
