    Think i found my new headlights. Don't have the time to do the BHLM mod, and don't have the funds to do a retrofit.

    How do you aim them down a bit? Mine are aimed quite high without any tuning.

    I feel you. I need to figure that out as well. Haven't had the time to look into it though.

    i have had these for 2 years, zero leaks and work great...
    Until i went for an inspection a couple weeks ago, now they fog up every time its damp out.
    Come to find out my bulbs weren't seated properly.

    I thought it was funny the tech asked exactly what bulbs i had and why my lights were on when i picked up the truck...

    Good to hear, I can't wait to get them. Tracking says delivery tomorrow but I can't believe that when I placed order last night. Are you just running stock bulbs in them?

    Just chiming in to say I've got the same bulbs in mine. They are very nice and bright.

    Need to put a set into my fogs...

    Their taillights are junk! I had them for 1 1/2 years before the driver side brake light went out. All the vendors sells them as a set not individual.

    For $110, it's not that bad. I'll take that considering OEM's are expensive AF.

    I am ordering a set for my Tacoma, can't beat the price, that's for sure! And they look a lot better than the factory style trd off road ones in my 2005.

    I installed mine back in early December. I sealed all around then with black RTV and had no issues with fogging... until I went through the car wash. Now my drivers side is fogging up on me. About to go pull it out to dry it our and figure out how or why it happened. I was very meticulous about sealing it.

    That's a bit unnerving as I felt like I 100% sealed it in every possible crevice too. I guess we'll see how mine make out. Here's a picture of mine.

    Just pulled it out and there was alot more water in there that what I thought. It looked like just light fog around the marker light and turn signal but when I turned it upside down a nice puddle accumulated in the center of the lense. I did my best to get the most water possible out of the light. I have it sitting on top of a fan that is laying on a wire rack, hopefully the air is cold and dry enough outside to evaporate all the moisture. It's been about 30 minutes, time to go check it.

    It looked like it had dried alot but when I turned it upside down again about a tablespoon accumulated in the lense again. I think that when it's sitting upright the water accumulates in the pointed corner of the marker light area. Now I have it laying lense down on a cloth with a cone made out of cardboard stuck down in the headlight bulb opening. My logic is that it will direct air into the light more efficiently and then it will move out through the marker and turn signal holes. We shall see how it looks in a few hours. I didn't notice any moisture or areas around where I sealed that looked like it would leak. Everything looked dry. The only moisture I noticed at all was some inside the headlight bulb grommet. I cant possibly see how that much water got in there, unless it multipled over the last week.
