curious, what do you mean openings? on my head lights i have never had condensation and on my pass. side tail i still have never had any. however on the driver side i have had some a few times. it took a few days before it showed up so i was confused. I cant figure out what its coming from because the light is completely sealed up... my only guess is that its from a crack in the lens... its a light i bought just so i could do this and it was off a wrecked evo. Its a small crack but im thinking that must be how moisture is getting in. what do you think about this?

do it man!! only thing that can honestly go wrong if you follow the video... is causing those cracks in the plastic that i showed from pushing to hard or w/e. once you get them there is no way to get rid of them obviously so i guess it could haunt you. besides that you can def pull this off perfectly

I'm thinking about doing the heads and tails on my MR (idk why but previous owner swapped out the OG's). Any ideas on how to get rid of the amber in the heads and tails?
