glass headlight misted up on inside.

One of them has misted up on the inside. It is raining and its cold at the moment, and I wasn't able to fit the fog light bulb holder properly two days back- it was too dark, so the light unit has been not sealed to the engine bay, and I guess the elements, which is why i think its misted up.

 

The other one is fine.

 

Should I drive the car at night tonight without waiting for the mist to disappear?

 

How do I get it to disappear, undo the fog light bulb holder again, and wait for more dry days? or leave the unit sealed?

 

I know its a small thing, but I'm still worried about it.

Take bulb holders out.

Put some vasaline on all the o-rings

And the Vaseline will rot the rubbers.

 

It's a PITA, I took one of mine out and put it in the airing cupboard for a week not so long ago, refitted it, checked bulbs seated nicely and within 24 hours it was misted up again.
