02-03 lancer guys with blacked out headlights

i was wondering if the people who bought the blacked out headlights for RRM had any problems with them leaking? or am i the lucky one that has the only set that leaks? Ive called Roadrace about them, im just waiting for them to call me back. im not bashing them, theyre a great company and i plan on buying ALOT more stuff from them!

Every set of aftermarket head or tail lights ive ever gotten ive thrown a ring of RTV Silicone sealant around just to be safe and ive never had anything leak. The clear stuff thats made to flow into cracks works best.

I did my own. there is a how-to posted. It was really easy, although kinda scarry. If i wasnt as ballsy as I am I would have just ordered them.

Mine fog up and they are stock! It mostly depends on the weather that you change the bulbs in ( which I asume you have to do with aftermarket head lights). If you change them while it is misty or even mildly humid, that water-vapor will rush into the places that are less humid...like headlights! If it a dry day out, you could probibly remove your head lights and toss them int the oven for a few minutes or a hair-drier might work to remove the moisture. Your best bet is to wait for the weather to clear up (which I know is hard) before working with your head lights. Also the use of that RTV stuff sound like cheap insuranse, so why not
