Oh also whichever light had moisture, reach inside with a rag or paper towel and check if there is any standing water, I had a decent amount which I just soaked up with some paper towels.

Thanks for the reply. I havent had much condensation as I saw that it started to mist a bit.. I immediately took off the caps so they're completely dry now for a few days. I have now resealed the caps and it seems to be good now. I also did a car wash and it was okay. Fingers crossed it stays the way. Thanks again! :)

So after a few days now, today, the fog in the headlights returned like a satan from hell (rainy day + low beam). I just can't get rid of it..

These are the photos when it just started to build up, I then quickly removed the rubber caps so it vented out.

It was much worse when I waited for like 10 minutes, half of the headlight was fogged :S

Might be worth getting some silica gel packs and leaving them in there, if you have any water in the headlight I would thing they are more likely to fog or mist up

I mind stuffing anything inside the housing :/ Doin this all over again? everytime it builds up? No thank you.. I just want a permanent solution to this.. Don't the lights have like vents underneath? they should have those.. Or can I order some more sealed caps? plastic/rubber?

Check to see that all your vents are in place should be 3 or 4 right angle rubber things at the corners of the headlight
Here is one pointed out

I have just checked for the vents, they're up and fitted correctly. As long as I don't use halogens and just daylight led's it's fine. But I wonder why did I had 1 whole week without misting and I was driving mostly with halogens.. It started today.. :S I don't understand.

Any more info on the coding for getting the led's to wink wink when the indicators are on? Also I am in the uk with the auto switch. So with the switch in auto are the led's active? Currently I have the dual high beam/drl H15 bulb so theoretically I would need to code the drl as ........?

Having issues with my helix head lights.

I purchased from you about a month and a half ago and I just got around installing them this weekend. Today itt rained all day and both my head lights are fogged up and full on condensation.

I checked the caps and they are sealed, everything else works fine aside from getting condensation which is very annoying.

what can you do for me?

Goose mentioned adding silicone lube to the caps may help seal the caps. BMC used silica packs to absorb moister and found that to work for them. Depending on the climate, especially area's with higher humidity can exhibit condensation. There is a link in post 1 regarding condensation and a factory TSB from VW.
