The first pair i bought from custom maxima years ago they were clear. decided to trash those cause i was constantly getting water in them and also i liked the new smoked look. So i picked up a pair from e bay. Dynasty something. Now these are getting condensate in them to. i tryed to seal them with silicone but still getting condensation. Anyone else have this problem?

take them out, pour water in them. then see where the water goes out. thats how i fixed the water problem with mine... but mine was like a swamp, not just a bit of condensation

cause the seal is broken between the plastic lense and housing.....bake them separae them....glue them back with 3M platstic sealer cement

NEW = NEVER EVER WORKED

Yes and my "NEW" CE ones do the same thing. Poor quality. Make them the cheapest way possible to save money and sell them as high as possible. Game of life.

I've been through 3 sets and they all do this.. cheap aftermarket stuff.

But they do look great when it's sunny.

Just a thought, but I think they are the same regardless where you buy them. Everyone uses the same pic, do the lights even have a brand name of any kind and why would more then one manufactor make these. I would call us a large market.
