The inside of the lamp might fog up after using the motorcycle in rain or after washing. Fog inside the lamp will disappear gradually by switching on the lamp while driving the motorcycle. The amount of time it takes for the fog to disperse depends on the humidity of the ambient air. Fog in non functional areas other than reflector does not affect lamp performance.
