I have fitted a set of these....

....from iWarehouse about 10 000 km back. 

They are simply fitted with the velcro pads that are supplied with the kit, so sit within a few millimeters of the actual headlight lens. 

Yesterday I removed them while cleaning the bike and noticed that the headlight lenses appear fogged up on the inside.  It is however not moisture, but looks like heat damage.

Can these covers cause the headlights to overheat when stationery?  ???
