Not to panic....  :signLOL:


I would take the unit off and check the seals (did you dismantle to switch the fog and reverse light?

Then I would bring the unit into the warmth of your house to dry it out -check/re-seal anywhere it has been dismantled put it back on and see how you go.

Mine have misted up a bit from time to time. They have a small vent hole in the lens if you look closely, so I've not been too worried about it.

Mine does the same, had it off a few times to check it, try and make the seal better but had no luck. But then again, nothing goes right with my car anyway so it doesnt suprise me :sad1:
