the guy i bought them from told me to perhaps drill a tiny tiny hole under the cluster. then the fog will disappear faster. but i never did. perhaps i will go back to my blue clusters until the new ones come in the stores

remove the cluster and dry it out properly, no water in it at all then go to focus and buy some stuff cant remember what its called llike the stuff round the inside of your windows it creates the seal, if water is getting into your lights chances are tyhere not sealing flush against the bodywork, secondly when you next put them in tighten them up slightly more(not too much tho) if this doesnt work then the clusters themselves arent sealed properly

silicon round the edges of the light which is placed against the body work should solve the problem!

reason why it does that is cause they arnt airtight so when it rains ect you get some dampness- the new future design ones i got on my car have a seal around them -seems to cure the problem!
