it's not unusual for factory lamps to have some level of fogging in some conditions.

yah, unless i have water collecting and staining the inside of the lens i wouldnt care. i dont look at my lamps that often, but ive seen other cars of mine having some level of fog and it went away after a day or two.

it's not like they assemble these headlamps in super low humidity clean rooms and put desiccant for MSL2 or wat not. lol it's going to have some humidty inside the lamps that will cloud if placed under certain conditions.

Actually i have a small tank of argon. Its heavyer than O2 and pushes out the oxygen after i seal them up. Pissed off owners is not something i like dealing with.

As long as it's dry and non-corrosive.

Bottled Nitrogen or any inert gas will work very well. Even filtered, dry air (paint gun supply) does a good job.
