    I have the spyder halo led headlights the black ones and I done some searching and heard that they build up condensation (not sure I spelt that right) and to fix that would to to take them apart and dry them out then reseal them well I haven't put them on my truck yet so would I need to take them apart and reseal them myself or just not take them apart and seal them with silicone or something where the lens and the housing meet to make sure it doesn't leak where the factory sealed it?

    At this rate just silicone them, or the harder route is taking them apart adding more butyl and resealing.

    I have the same ones. Not too crazy about them though. I haven't had to seal them but the clear coat is peeling off the front of both mine. I've only had them on for 8 months. After I did the BHLM on my old headlights I am really considering putting those back on with a projector in those.

    Ok thanks and one more question is it the leaking around the housing and the lens cause the condensation in these type of headlights or is it that and other things too?
