Default Foggy Headlight Protectors

Hi Folks
My headlight protectors are foggy most of the time, I know you can't keep moisture out of things.
Is there something I can do to the inside of them to prevent fogging up?

I had an old Dodge with very foggy and cloudy headlamps. I found a guy on YouTube called ChrisFX who did some good videos - more than the "ONE QUICK FIX!!!1!" videos that never really work.

Here is the link to the wet headlights video - in the description he links his other headlight videos. You may find something in there to fit your situation!

Default hmm

Not quite what I was after, as I don't think its a sealed unit, but interesting.

Default solved!

I was sure that the fogginess was inside the headlight, but I rubbed the outside with some toothpaste on a microfibre cloth and it came up good as new

I think the follow up to this is to spray them with clear coat to seal. Saw that in one of the Chris Fix vid's.
