    Geez. Twenty minutes of mindless chattering....

    The short version: make sure your tent is ventilated.

    Yeah I jumped around to find what he was trying to say. He kind of does that but he's very analytical with everything he does. The slider review he did was like 30 min or so.

    He’s gonna sell it, but no, I don’t think any will fit a taco. Well, the fronts might, but not sure if you’d benefit from it.

    Well I just took the time to silicone seal the new head lights, I didn't like how the rubber housing thingy was sitting on the back to seal where the bulb goes in, so I siliconed that too hahaha these babies are never going to turn into aquariums on my watch!

    :rofl: I knew someone would make comment hahaha just because, I had to gun in hand, and the one boot wouldn't stay on and kept coming off so fook it, I siliconed that bitch! these were ebay special head lights so I was not risking trusting the sealant or the o rings, better safe then sorry imo. wasn't sure if there was O-rings either, I figure there was but they are projectors so I dunno, I made a judgement call and I'm sticking to it

    Pics please? I didn't do anything for my rubbers on the back. They are definitely not sealed and the innards are open to the atmosphere because of it.

    Edit. I had to cut my rubber to allow the HID bulb holder and bulb harness to fit.

    Ok well since they are ebay specials then you better go get a few tubes of silicone and start from the lens seal and silicone the whole back of those things. :rofl:.

    @boogie3478 is/was having trouble with his headlights and his weren't ebay specials.

    Yeah that's who I was referencing when I said aquariums hahahaha I can't believe how bad his were!! Didn't want to risk that! Now FadedComa has the same ones I got but he didn't seal and his have been good to go but I feel like it's kind of like playing the lottery haha

    I haven't really has a condensation problem with mine. Only when it' really really humid and/or foggy do I see a slight film of water. Certainly not a bunch of water droplets either. Like if one was to exhale on a mirror. That's it.

    The front maybe, you'd have to research it. The back struts will almost definitely not fit.

    I did seal between the lens and the housing. I used the grey exterior caulking and I could see it oozing down into the seam, so there were places rain could have gotten in.

    Didnt touch the boots, so far so good and it has done nothing BUT rain the last 3 weeks or so.
