I have heard of fogging problems on a lot of replacement lights. Maybe someone has these that can tell you for sure.

From what I have read, those do fog, but not nearly as bad as the three LED lights, but more than the Sonar lights (which I have)

I have those and have not had any problems with fogging........yet......i'll let you know if i do. I'm pleased with the purchase. Only thing i needed to do was balance the lights so they weren't blinding the cars in front of me

it does fog a little but if you use some clear silicone around the headlight she'll be fine the tricky part is adjustin' the beam... when i first installed mine the drivers beam was up in the clouds and the passenger side was blinding ants.... it took me 15 to 20 mins to get them the way i wanted... not bad lights for under $200.

Did you disassemble the lights and apply the silicone or did you just give it an extra layer around the seams?

Anyone else? I'd like to pull the trigger on these, but don't really want to have to disassemble them to seal them.

I see that K2 Motors sell the same lights for $199/pr. Anyone know if their higher quality than the Ebay ones for $100?

Thanks!

I've had two different sets of aftermarket headlights and had minor fogging problems with both of them but nothing that a good day out in the sun can't fix.

Fogging is just something you have to deal with it seems - no matter what set of aftermarket headlights you get...but to me it's worth it for the looks.
