    did you buy them from eBay? then you got what you paid. they're just crappy to begin with. in my opinion, you want new projector headlights there's no excuse for a proper retrofit.

    No I bought them from autoanything and come to find out it was just fog in the headlight cause it was kinda cold outside and the low beam and high beam put off heat and caused the fog inside the headlight and when in 10 mins the fog was gone, I kinda freaked out when I first was it cause I didn't won't that to happen and as soon as it happened I posted on here to see what other people had to say

    After my retrofit mine would fog up a little. I put them back in the oven, pushed the lenses in and tightened the screws some more as well as added a little more butyl on the outside of the lens where the gap is on the bottom and no problem in weeks.

    Hopefully it's just high humidity. After I "fixed" mine they would still do it for a few days. Night time they would fog up. Day time they would be crystal clear. Now they don't fog up at all:D

    Did u make sure to push the silicone into the gap of the lens/back with ur fingers? Wrap ur fingers with plastic bag first. I've always used GE silicone II and never had a leak..... What did u use?

    Btw, spyders are notorious for leaking.... Sometimes the sellers will even have a disclaimer at the bottom of the ad in fine print about it.
