    Currently in the market.
    So the thing is, I have 2 brand new OEM headlights in the box. I would have no problem attempting the job myself if I new what the job required. Unsealing and resealing? How their mounted to the housings ect.
    I have seen no detailed instructions on doing it yourself. I've considered installing them out of the box but they just look so nice with projectors installed. I do appreciate all your advice.

    A silica pack in the housing will remove the moisture(I mostly use a hair dryer) and usually a bead of silicone will seal up any leaks to prevent them from fogging up again. Tear apart and reseal not needed necessarily.

    I'm hedging on worst case of the likelihood, at least as far as condensation goes. Haven't mentioned guys who have had their shrouds fall off inside the housings.

    Spending a grand to avoid getting your hands dirty still leave a 50% chance of having to get your hands dirty anyway. ;)
