Do yourself a favor and stay away from halo headlights - specifically a company called sonar (or something like that). They suck. Not only do they fog up, the bulbs themselves don't even last very long and you have to do some splicing to replace them - its easy, but its a hassle.

I'd recommend getting some stock headlights and retrofitting some real hid's in there. That might run you around 5 bills, though. But it looks nice, output is amazing and it'll last way longer than any other aftermarket bs.

I'm currently in the process of doing that. I'll post up some pics when I'm all done. But it should look something like this:

drilling holes is probably the smartest thing ive heard when it comes to condensation... goin to try it on bumper lenses... fingers crossed:x:

that is why you dont buy crap and put it on your car. Cheep things are not always a good bet, you get what you pay for...I found out the hard way lol
Doing a retro fit ( Seen Above ) is a great way to add projectors to your car, instead of buying that ebay stuff. The sealant used on them is horrible and thats why the lights fog up with moisture.

Your retrofit looks great by the way.. hope to see pics of the outcome.
