It's god's way of punishing you for putting those fugly things on your car. There's nothing you can do except replace them with OEM smoked headlights.

They are not that bad. Like stated above seal them and you'll be all set. I sealed my 1 pc before i ever installed them.

I left the holes open but I took off the rubber tubes that connect to them..they seemed to be the cause of the condensation in my case (Not sure if your projectors came iwth them, the OEM headlights have them)
