fogged headlights

if neone can shed some light on this, it will be greatly appreciated. i juss got my strobes installed.. and because of that process, my headlights are fogged. Im assuming it became foggy when that dude used that air blowing thing to remove all debree from the housing after the hole was drilled. Is there a way i can remove the fog?

And another question for people who have the Whelen Strobe kits, I have a 90 watt model, and the bulbs that came along with the kit is burning out easy. I tried looking for the same bulb online and was noted by the manufacturer that the bulbs is not recommended for the unit with more than 60 watts... Question is.. which bulbs should i use for the 90 watt unit?

It probably isn't sealed good. If there is that much fog in the headlight you need to check for water in the ballast which sits underneath the headlight housing.

You can de-fog your headlights by taking out the bulbs and using a hair dryer to blow warm dry air through it, but I would check the ballast first.

but it's totally a

I had to do it a couple times before I had a chance to reseal them. From what I've heard it's important to get the fog out ASAP so the moisture doesn't lead to other nasty problems.
