fogliht condensation

after installing my 8500k fogs i start getting a lot of condensation on the front lenses

i dried them out and put silicone on back of the bulbs but it's still the same issue

is it maybe because of the heat of the bulb and the coldness outside?

thanks

And you are inserting the fog lights into the hole tightly? Made sure there are no cracks/holes in the lenses?

Air is getting in somewhere. It's not the heat of the bulb versus ambient temp. causing it.
