Moisture problem in new angel eye headlights

Unfortunately, many aftermarket part companies do a crappy job sealing tail lights and headlights. The easiest way is to take your headlights off and put them in your oven. Set it for 350 degrees and set the timer for 5min. This is to soften up the silicone that seals the headlamp housing from the glass. If you don't want to put them in the oven, use a heat gun to loosen up the silicone. After the silicone is loose, clean all of the remaining water/moisture from the headlamp with a soft clean towel. You will need to buy some silicone from your local Lowe's or Home Depot. I recommend either clear or black. Place the silicone around your headlamp and place the glass back. Let is sit overnight or whatever the recommended drying time is on the bottle of silicone that you buy. This process can also be done on your tail lights if you want to paint the housing on any old red/clears or altezzas that you have.

I have a question about your angel eyes...I'm assuming they are crystal clear and my question is, do they disperse light evenly in front of the car? I bought a set of Inpro H4 Crystal Clear headlights and the light seems to shoot straight out as a beam and doesnt disperse well. I dont have much light out to either side of the light path. Let me know how yours performs plz. Thanks!

You know after reading all these I was thinking about taking off my headlights but since i didnt know how to install them i paid someone to do it. My new projector dual halo headlamps had moisture in it but then I thought it was cuz of the bad silicone sealing like everyone says it is. But what i figured out was that the moisture went into the lamp while it was being installed cuz it was a rainy day. Well I just took out the high beam lights so there is a big hole and covered it up with the rubber thing. I waited the next day when it was sunny and opened the cover and let it all dry out. I would prolly use a blowdryer but didnt have an extension cord. Then I just put the high beam bulbs back in and closed it back up. I havent had a problem ever since! Which was like 2 days ago but still....i'm glad i didnt have to do all that silicone stuff.....good luck
