Head light fogging

Hey, I bought a new set of 1st gen CCFL projectors and of course the 3rd day of having them (and looking great with them) Chicago gets hit with a warm up with just really really humid and wet day yesterday, now my right side light is fogged up to crap now. Anyone know how to solve that issue from happening again. I am just going to use compressed air to clean the inside right now but anyone know if I can plug up those air ports on the back of the lights?

But he said they are new. I doubt they seal is gone already. I would plug the breathers. Mine have caps over them on my Gen3's. Or check all the blub boots on the back. Everything should be sealed tight in the back

My driver's side is fogging up like NUTS right now, and yes it's this crazy Chicago weather because it's never happened until now. It's the stock headlight, too.
