Mine dont do that most of the time every once in a while it will but then again its been like 4 months since I washed my truck so its kind of hard to remember. Most aftermarket clear corners have that problem. I got the cheap 20 buck ebay deals on my truck cant beat them for the price.

If you just got em' I'd try taking them back.

My reflectors have been taken out of my headlights up front and when we put em' back together we used a lot of silicon. They haven't fell prey to condensation yet, knock on wood.

Once they clear up, you might be able to seal them a little better. Just a thought, don't know if it'll work.

I had the same problem on my cheapie eBay ones as well. Easy fix. When you wash the truck, water gets in but has no way to drain since they are still pretty much a closed environment. The water puddles and evaporates, but doesn't go anywhere so you get fogging.I took mine out and drilled 3 small holes at the lowest point of the assembly. Now water still gets in where it always has, but it has an escape route. No problems since. HTH.

I ended up sealing up the edges where nessesary with clear silicon and than also putting holes in the bottom like coontoot said.
