Fogged projector *PICS*
Here's the thing. I have had these for a long time now with no problem but I had my car at the body shop from 11am -5pm yesterday. I go outside last night and notice that my headlight was fogged. I check a few hours later and it's still the same. Guess what, same thing this morning. It's just the one. Maybe a seal broke or something?
Any suggestions on what would cause it and should I go to the place were I bought em or back to the body shop?
Driver's side same time

It is very normal for those aftermarket projectors
Place I work at now having atleast 10 lights per day having this problem
It happend to ALL aftermarket projecters and altezza lights soon or later
What you should do is remove the lights and use blow dryer to dry all the water in the light
Use all purpose silicone to seal where hosuing and the lense meet. It should help you out with your problem. If its still doing the same thing, well.. good luck because most of these lights carry NO warranty what so ever
Sometimes it is just hard for me to tell my customer... "too bad"

Just get clear silicone sealer from Home Depot, the kind used for plumbing. Once your lights are dried and reassembeled, run a bead all the way around the seam, to seal them up. We recommend this to our customers for all aftermarket lights, to prevent it from happening, because it almost always eventually happens

By reassembled do you mean I have to take em apart? like the oven mod to seperate em? Damn, I didn't know it would be like this. This was my first aftermarket headlight. They should put this ____ on the box or something. It's only been less than 4 months, what a joke

Maybe that's the reason why the company who makes & imports them went out of business a couple weeks ago??

And there are only one style available here so if you could show me jdm projectors (not stock bb headlights), then it doesn't matter. I was the first person to install these along with bBist which means there are 2 possibilities. 1- I got some faulty first off product or 2- maybe they all suck but since I have had them the longest, nobody else has had this yet. In that case, I feel sorry for the manufacturer and hope that he did go out of business. I am going with number 1 because I don't want to hurt anyone's business and my car has been thru more hell than most of yours will ever go thru.
ebay didn't even sell these till a month after I had them
