Drill a small hole in the bottom of the light, in the lowest point....It will let the condensation run out.....

I want a set of "Euro" style lights, but with smoked lenses....

when i was looking for headlights it seemed that smoked headlight sets were cheaper than clear light sets... if you do a lot of searching you can probly save some $$$ buying the stuff seperately

but how is the condinsation gettin in that light?

Moisture in the air...When the light heats up, it condenses from a vapor to a liquid on the lens.....

The condensation gets in there when the headlights are no longer sealed due to a crack somewhere in it or the rubber seal is bad where the bulb locks in.

Im still leaning towards the black 1 piece headlights you posted. Hard decision.

I kinda want the ugly halo projectors though.. Deff would be function over form.

what do you think!?

I think your TTB hates you. LOL. It looks good, but I think it would look a little better without the spacers. Also, from what i've seen those style Welds are pretty common. Maybe it's just me though. I've seen tons of them. How thick are your spacers?

I like the one piece setup for 2 reasons:

1-They look different.....They don't look like someone painted them with that ****ty VHT Niteshades stuff....

2-I can get brighter bulbs.....
