nothing.there is a fix for it somewhere on this site but it involves cutting and alot more work then replacing them.People will tell you they can be polished,but they will never compare to new ones.It makes a huge differance too.Its not just the water in them,its scratches from over the years.And when or if you get new ones you will see why they scratch so easy.Dont rub on them when washing or drying.

there was an idea here once to drill a couple 7/32" holes in the top of the housings and a few on the bottom on the back side. that way air can get through. and the water can drain out the bottom. this will also allow you to run 20W bulbs instead of the 10W bulbs so you can look like the new Fbodys, with the bright driving lights. that is just a thought. and if you have them out. why not coat them in black clear coat. to give them that tinted look. just an idea. good luck man and have fun

u can take them out and use a blow dryer to dry them out, then get some meguiars plastic polish and a buffer,and polish the heck out of em, no they will not look as good as brand new ones but it is still one hell of a difference, and as far as stopping it from happening again, just take some rtv and fill up the vents on them, i did this about 6 months ago, no more fog.... and no problems..
