Probably nothing baking and a little bit of rtv won't fix.

I think most folks are going to discover they you are going to have to seal these headlights before installing them to avoid fogging...the price we pay for cheaper made in China stuff...

Talked with chris from phastrack and he said they should burn off after a few days of use so hopefully that works

Winjet headlights fogging up?
It's cause you took the headlights out in the cold dry air and there was humid air still inside them. It will evaporate.

I have ALWAYS sealed (usually with RTV) aftermarket headlights on all my cars. Seems that only OEM avoids the fog.

Any news on this? I just got mine installed and they fogged up instantly (in montreal at -17C.. ) Problem is that in this weather, the moisture just freezes after i turn off the lights, so it doesn't leave time for it to evaporate...

thanks for the valuable response, i shall fix my headlights with OEM might! (sarcasm off)
I just want to fix these, cuz they look much more sexy than OEM, the light better than OEM, and if the moisture is fixed, they seem to be of good enough quality
