condensation in headlights

I didn't notice this problem as much when I first bought the car, but now its starting to bother me. Is resealing the headlights the only way to solve this?

Most of the headlights with start fogging up on the inside over time. I use Plexus on them to minimize the haze (at least on the outside).

I should add that I plan to purchase a pair of eyelids in the near future, which might take away the noticeability of the condensation a bit. I'm not sure yet...my only cheap way of fixing it was to reseal them :/

I saw a few on ebay, I guess I would go that route if I was really serious about the new lights. Riverside isn't selling them for $750 but I'm sure it's not too far off. I would rather use that money toward exhaust, wheels...something bigger.

$525 last I saw.

And is it just water on the inside of the lights, or is it constantly hazy? You can reseal the headlights pretty easily.

They just get foggy on the top portion of the headlights...usually either when it's really sunny out, after it rains or when my lights are on.

$530 shipped is great compared to the price Everythingg35.com asks, but that's still way more than I'll spend on lights.

it's all good.. just letting you know in case that was in your budget... I haven't installed mine yet, but I know their construction quality is superior as well as more aesthetically pleasing. You also don't have to worry about discoloration or condensation.

I thought it was money well spent.. But I feel you on wanting to get other mods first.. You HAVE lights, might as well get it on the next go round after all the other stuff is done.. I feel you bro.
