New OEM '13 HID's with moisture
I just recently bought a set of '13 OEM HID's for my '12 platinum. I installed them last week and today was the first rain we got since I had the lights in. I am noticing lots of fogging on the drivers side and a little on the passenger side. I was wondering if any one has experienced this issue with there oem hid's and if so, what your fix was to deal with it. Any help would be appreciated!!!!

Lamp assembly condensation:
Exterior lamps are vented to accommodate normal changes in pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air
enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that
condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal
condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can form on the interior of the
lens. The thin mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during
normal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry
weather conditions.
