They will bake the lights to loosen the glue and pry them apart to paint them. The key to avoiding condensation is to make sure they are properly sealed back up when they are putting them back together. an incomplete seal will cause them to fog up.

If the paint is not cured long enough before you put them back in and seal , it might haze from the gases..
