Default Fog light problem

I recently installed the 5202 hid fog lights on my truck, everytime I go to turn the lights on there is moister build up inside of the housings. The fog light housings are brand new, so im thinking that the problem is the seal? Any ideas on what it may be, has this been happening to any one else?

Thanks adam

Many people use outdoor applications. These applications generally require a sealed or near-sealed light fixture to prevent moisture from entering the light housing or electrical circuit components of the lighting system to prevent damage.

When I had 9005 bulbs in my fog lights i did this and it worked out pretty well. But i was really trying to not do this with the 5202 bulbs since i didnt want to put silicone on the housings again. But i just may have to. Thanks for the input bro
