Default New Headlights on black tC

Well after searching i decided to get these lights.



They fit perfectly and the looks are pretty nice.





But After i washed my car the next day this happened



There is the Culprit!





Over all the Lights looks nice but when i contacted Customtc.com, which is the place from where i got them, i asked them if they could send me a replacement cuz they gave me a faulty one, and that i would send them the faulty one back. They basically gave me the finger and told me to fix it myself. So if u buy these lights from them be wary of their customer service, if they have any.... But the lights themselves still look good tho.

ahh yes, same lights. same problem. my passenger side one is doing that. but since it hardly rains here and it goes away within a half hour after i wash it, i don't really care.



But yeah. They look good!

Yeah 98% of aftermarket lights especially halos will do that just seal it again and it will be fine.

make sure it has dried 100% so you dont trap any in there as opposed to keeping it out of the housing.

yea i took everything into consideration, the halos not being CCFL, the quality of aftermarket lamps and whatnot, but i figured ill stick with these till they get 08' projectors fitted with angel eyes, then ill get those.

Acutally i searched here on forums and saw that u had to heavily modify the anzos for them to be good. For example like adjusting the cut-off plate, and the LED on top going out all the time, it was the only reason why i didn't get the anzos. Anyways i sealed my lights and no more water gets inside now i just need to buy HID for the projectos if thas at all possible
