Depending on where you live, there is no real answer. I tried drilling little 1/8 vent holes in mine to no avail. I wound up just taking off the covers entirely and running like that.

desiccant packs can help if you want to put one in but condensation can indicate seal leakage unless it was really high humidity when you installed them.

how did you take the lense of cause i don't want to crake it
because if it is a seal leak i can just re seal the lense.

most of us oven bake the lenses to soften the sealant. Just make sure not to melt them.
