Foggy altezas

My black altezzas fogged up the other day and they're not getting any better, I'm assuming the car wash caused it. Anyway, how do I get rid of this, will tiny vent holes help or do I have to take them apart and reseal them completely?

Drill a couple small holes in the altezzas so that air can get in and out and that will solve your problem, it worked for me.

Won't drilling tiny holes in them allow water to enter in the future, which would create moisture and fog them up again? Not to mention possibly burn out ur bulb?

Perhaps, all I know is that in my case and with several other persons the MX3 altezzas clouded/fogged up after a period of time and the only way that I could stop it was to drill holes. Since doing that I find even if they get fogged up, within a couple hours they are fine again.

What are the other guys on this board comments here?

Like osargeant said, holes on the bottom of the altezza's should clear up the fogging. i had chrome altezza's that i took apart to paint parts of them black as well as to tint the turn signal lense. I resealed the lense back on, as well as adding extra clear windshield silicon to the seams, and then 2 small holes drilled on the bottom of each. they rarely fog up now, but if they do, it generaly clears up pretty quickly.
