    OP I bought those same lights from that seller over a year ago cause I wanted the smoked signal lense, the white reflector and of course the black housing. Before installing I put a generous beed of silicon to seal, since you cannot see the silicon from the outside of the truck make sure you seal them good. I have not had any fogging issues with these lights even after some good rain and snow storms, as well as car washes.

    I also liked that these lights came with a set of light bulbs and had the back rubber seals, unlike most of the other black housed lights I was looking at on ebay.

    I would recommend these lights and have even bought a second set to put on my gf's truck about 4 months ago, no issues with her lights either. I did a decent amount of research on this site before I got my lights. Some complained about leaking but the silicon seal solved that so far. Also others indicated that the light output was slightly less, however, I did not notice any significant change.

    Two things to note about these lights:
    1. In my set and her set, there is a bit of a 'hot spot' in the beam on the driver side. Tollerable for both of us.
    2. Beam position will need to be adjusted after install. Recommend comparing with another tacoma or getting an idea of you beam placement before installing.

    There are pictures of them on my truck in my photo album. Hope this helps.
