    Let me just quote or resident expert on Lighting:

    "Spyder is well known to be one of the worst headlight brands out there. All looks and horrible performance, and poor build quality. People often complain the headlights are ineffective at projecting light output, they leak and get water on the inside of the headlight and the lenses fog from UV breakdown early. Definitely a brand to avoid if you drive at night. They will be a massive downgrade from your OEM lights in every measurable way."

    Said another way, as long as you don't plan on driving at night, they're awesome.

    Had no problems other than some lens clearcoat peeling on one headlight, good light output and they look great.

    I have had my Spyders for about 6 months. Crash recommended Tungsram +130s. So far I like them. A weekly coat of Rain x keeps them from getting iced up. So far no issues with fogging up or water getting inside.
