   I have got some new lights and one of them is misting up if you know what I mean. Can they be resealed and if so does anyone know some good stuff and how to do it.
   I'll post a pic in a bit.

   unless theyre cracked mate it has to be the rubber seals around the outside when you remove em.
   
   
   Take out the lights, clean the area off and dry it down, same with the seals. Check the seals for wear, if theyre buggered youll need new lights or replacements etc. Then just do them up really really tight

   I didn't really want to get new lights as I haven't had them long. I'll see if I can pull them apart.

   Put a bag of silicone in the back, works like a charm for me.
   
   Problem is most aftermarket lights (unless you buy something quality as hell like Valeo or Hella) aren't the best built... so they end up with a wee bit of condensation. Nothing to worry about... unless you have LEDs which can't dissipate the condensation...
   
   So the silicone it is for you, my friend. You can find it in shoe stores mainly, which is weird, but you'll thank me for it later!

   Never seen those lights before. How long have you had them? And did you buy them from a shop with receipt, or off egay (or something similar)? As I would take them back. Or else theres not alot you can do with them, apart from bodging with silicon.

   Same happened to mine with my Smoked jewels, I put a little bag of Silicone in there and helped a tad, not much though.
