Still here... sorta...
Lesson learned: buying projectors or aftermarket crappy headlights usually fog up. Same lesson for corners, sidemarkers, and tails.
Solution: reinstall your stock headlights. You'll never be able to completely fix the fogging on crappy headlights and the hassle trying to isn't worth it.

there are two diffrent types of fogging that i am aware of.
if the lens is turning yellowish...looking like scartched plastic then try buffing the lens out., there are some diffreent types of cleaners availiable atutozone or whatnot. if it is on the inside....then your screwed.
the second type is moisture fogging......drill a small hole in the bottom of the light to let moisture get out. moisture is present because the inside temp of the light is a diffrent tempature the the outside of light. drilling a small hole will make the inside and outside temps closer together.
