Default Smoked Headlights

Hey, when i first bought my car the original headlights were shot so i bought oem-style ones for like 90 bucks off eBay and they looked amazing up till now. the right headlight has MASSIVE condensation so it looks bad. my dad could get new OEM headlights for 110 a piece, but i was looking at the smoked headlights with clear corners - will these condensate on me? honestly, the last thing i want to do is waste 230 bux

A couple of the forum members have them but if you get rear ended you will be at fault.

Default Lights

I swapped out both headlights and taillights for black trim to match car. My originals were gettin condensation and the new ones r 2. I called the company about this and the first thing they said is the lights should be installed by professionals. The second thing they said is that all light housings should be sealed with silicon prior to installation. I have to remove mine and do the silicon thing. Also check yer local laws about smoked out lights and or covers, as here in NJ they are illegal not to mention that if you have an accident, insurance co. may not cover you.
