Default Does anyone else, besides Derek, have their halos foggin up?

Just put my Halos in, and noticed that in cold weather, they fog up a bit, usually on the High Beam side. It's a bit humid yet besides being "cold" for Florida, so I am just wondering if anyone else had them foggin up? It goes away during the day and doesn't happen on the Low Beam side. Seems like the driver side one does it more than the passenger, but it does happen on both of them?

Guess that's why they cost 185 a pair while OEM cost 340 a piece! LOL

As long as they don't leak in the rain, I almost don't care

RTV silicone sealant is your friend.

Where is the problem area....where would I apply it?

I hope not a the bottome, because, uhm...during the install of the driver side I must have cross threaded the screw, and as a result, the thread broke loose from the bracket so that now the thread and the screw are spinning inside the mounting bracket on the headlight assembly. Without cutting the screw (the grey one), I won't be able to get the headlight out anymore.

Stupid is as stupid does....

the same thing happened to me..i cut it off and used the stock brackets...the stock brackets seem to be better and are easier to adjust. Also mine fog a little bit when it is cold and i have my headlights on. Oh yeah how in the world did you spend $185 on yours when i got mine on ebay for only $120??

The ebay seller didn't have any at the time, plus, I don't have an ebay account, and also, I just wanted to order from some company someone I know had ordered from. Lastly, I thought their might be a quality difference, but it looks like they are all made by the same people.
