Default ok who has clear running/bumper ......

ok who has bought clear running / bumper lights for the front of their camaro that have not fogged up? The reason im asking is i bought a set off ebay and resealed them myself and they still fog up??? So im going to try again and seal them one more time but if that dont work im going ot just buy another set and i was curious if anybody bought a set and havent had the fogging up problem on there camaro and where did you get them from .......thanks to all for any future info....

You see what I did was run a bead of silicone glue on the cracks on the outside prior to installing them. (This was found during searching) and I have not had a problem at all with fogging up. Another idea I read while searching was to put a small hole on the lowest point for water to drain out.

i have some off ebay one pair and sealed them up. first time i washed it the yfogged up. but after that they did not.also i done spray the water directly at them when i was the car. i run the sponge with soap across the clear corner and let the water run down the hood and let it clean the lenses like that hope this helps

No issues here. I've had them on the car for 2-3 years now. They were a gift, but I think they came from E-bay.

Ebay as well. Have had them for 2 years, never sealed them, no leakage or fogging issues. I believe seller is Sabersports.

use the old rubber seals from the stock yellow corners.

when i bought my first set of clears, i didnt use them because it felt like it was too hard to put the light. was afraid i'd break the light socket. needless to say, they fogged within 3 days.

dealt with the fogging for a while, then finally bought a new set, forced the old rubber seals that came on the yellow corners onto the new set of clears, and absolutely no sign of even thinking of fogging.
