Default Condesation in E-codes

Its been raining here for about 2 days now and ive had my e-codes for a week. Its rained before with them but all the sudden i have alot of condesation in my left headlamp? I kept the rubber deflector on top. Anyone have any ideas of where the water could get in? Very pissed off about this one esp. with the money i blew on them.

Where did you buy them from? I would try to get an exchange. If that falls through, purchase some silicon. Run a bead along the back side and in all plastic joints.

Call them for sure to complain. That isn't acceptable.

even had them factory install the HID kit, think where they drilled the back of the plate is where the condensation could be coming throuhg? id rather not go through the hassle of sending it back and stuff

Well I would pull the headlight out and try to seal it up best as you can then with silicone.

ooh ok, you got the two-piece, i gotcha.....well, you're probably already aware of this, but lltek's customer service isn't exactly exemplary....it's probably going to be a hassle getting your money back or even getting them replaced...good luck, let us know how it turns out...
