Ive got this problem too, one of my rear smoked lexus and front smoked angel lights have moisture inside 24/7... A case of heating them up, cracking off the lense & sealing them properly again?
Any help would be great :)

My daughters rear lights had the same problem. I took the lights of and re-positioned the seals around them and the jobs a good one!!

I'll definatly try anything that comes up in this thread in the next few days and see if it works.
Maybe a silly question but can you crack open angel/lexus lights the same as standard ones? - Heat up in the oven and take the lense off while the seal is sticky/you know what i mean!

Only thing, if you do do this, it's very messy, the glue will stick to everything, as I found out when smoking my headlights. So you need to be careful, as if you get any on the insert, and don't intend to change the colour, it will look terrible.

I had moisture in my smoked rear jewel. I just took it out for a few hours, let it dry out then when i put it bak made sure it was fully in place and tightened

smoked lights and lexus lights are well known off ebay for condensation. Mine did the same, all i done was dry out the lense with a hairdryer and tissue. I then bought some clear mastik and went round the seam of where the lense joins the backing and that sorted it for me
