Default Headlights are fogging up.

I just installed some halo headlights a few weeks ago and just the other day, i noticed there were a few drops of water inside them and that they are fogging up like crazy. What should i do!?!

Default ....You should...

Search through the many threads relating to after market headlights.
Very common complaint on this board. You may need to re-sael them, but you need to do your homework and read first, then ask about anything not already explained 1000 times.
Search for : headlights or for halo or for projector

Which ones did you get? Are they the three LED-at-the-bottom ones, the DOT stamped ones from Sonar, or the ones with the light-up eyebrow at the top?

Those are garbage. Light emission is awful and the build quality sucks. I just ripped a set off my car and went back to stockers... I suggest you do the same.

That particular make is, yes, but not all are garbage. Quit flaming every halo projector thread with this groundbreaking info that you did not like your lights and you removed them.

Quit bein a d-bag. Obviously he has water in his and has the same problems. Would you say headlights with water in them were manufactured well...???

Seriously what's with the influx of Douche bags on this site. mainly crazy cat matt, then this Max kid.


Anyways, it's well known the projectors which have the 3 LED's suck. There have been 10000 posts of people saying the lights have fogged up, and that the output sucks.

Just another reminder to SEARCH before you create a new topic.

Those particular ones are junk. I do agree with that, but when you make a broad generalization like

You are incorrectly claiming that anything other than OEM is junk, which is incorrect.

Influx? Did I just recently join this site or something? Nope. I am correcting what Peruzzi said. I have no problems with fog or light output.



Well this is going to go downhill quickly. If someone has something to say about me, then PM me. If this turns into a flame war, then it will get locked down.

i would say if you like them then re-seal them....

i personally like the ones with the 3 led but i also like the ones with the eyebrow....

just get some clear cocking and completely take them off and separate them then reseal it dont think its that hard had to do it to some tailihgts off my old civic....


GOOD LUCK!!!!!
