eBay Blackout headlights?
It was a little cold when I got em installed. I had no problems whatsoever till it rained, im not sure about the seals. My friend did all the work.
No I didn't bake them. This sucks, yesterday they were perfect, now they look Gross! Now I probably have to pay some1 to open my headlights and seal em with sillicone. Im not a DIY'er at all when it comes to this things

mine have have no problems with condensation, but to be honest i got them on k2motor not ebay, they are practically identical though.
VV thats a bummer about yours man, id be pissed too
yea grill is one of my next moves for sure, and if i do the door handles, i would do the whole trim and edge of rims to match it.. thought about some options for that, but it might take me a while hahah. dont know about the xentecs havent done a whole lot of research yet, but also thinking about v-leds 6000k.. im taking my time deciding. god i wish someone could get my factory hid in

. Are you gonna order the Xentec hids?
im not sure if the temperature had anything to do with it, the rain was freezing and i had the same type of condensation on my windshield, it was worse on the left headlight tho
i think i found what seemed to be the culprit. there is a tiny gap between the headlights and the fenders on the bottom and between the bottom of the headlights and the bumper. I sealed up any visible gaps on the bottom with a thin strip of black vinyl that you can't even see (thank god my car is black) prior to that i fixed the condensation with a blow dryer. I'm keeping my fingers crossed hoping it doesnt come back lol
Those headlights looks really cheap.

For some reason, these look better.. And they're the same price. These are also SAE/DOT approved.

Not sure if it was the way the shots were taken, but these just look better.

^ those look exactly like the ones i got, The shots were taken with a camera phone so they don't give the headlights justice. They were perfect for a couple days before the condensation started. Anyway i got the condensation back. I still think the problem is due to the fender not sitting completely flush to the headlight. But is only the left one thats giving me problems and condensation i dont know why. I might swap the bezel and the lens into my oem headlight and seal it with silicone and see what happens
the front of the fender the part that contours to the headlight on the bottom, is not sitting snug against the headlight, is a tiny bit lifted. I think the air is getting thru that little gap and into the back of the lens. Im not sure tho
^The lens is (or atleast should be) sealed to it's own housing. Shouldn't matter if it's even installed in the car, as long as there are bulbs in it, it shouldn't fog up. The back side of the headlight is exposed to the (more-or-less) open air of the engine bay anyway.
