dude i drilled holes in my clear corners to fix this problem and ya know what? it doesn't! these things are cheaply made which probably explains the shitty fitment issues

did you guys get 4 breathers for your halos or just 2?

Four, and the four tiny holes I drilled worked fine. Some have siliconed them as well.

Reseal them. Add a bead of silicone around where the housing and the lens meet and let them dry. See if that helps.
