just installed the lux angel eyes in my car and i now have freaking condensation in my passenger headlight. i had mark at northeast motorwerks put them in for me but i guess he probably sealed it bad. Anyone know how i can get rid of the water build up in the headlight?!?!

Time and sunlight will make the condensation go away. Once that's done, get it re-sealed. It happened to my past vehicle.

Take the rear cover off and use a hairdryer to remove most of the moisture. Reseal with a silicone sealant

sorry to thread jack but do you have to remove the wheel to get to the cover ? i got moisture in my headlight earlier after installing my mtec v3 angel eyes a couple weeks ago

You don't have to open head lights to install lux..... All he had to do was put the cap on tightly...... Fail

I concur ^^^. You don't have to even remove the wheels. Just turn them all the way to the left or right to get access to remove the wheel lining. Most likely the cover wasn't properly replaced.

I installed my Lux eyes and now have the problem on both headlights. I made sure the covers went back on tight. What gives.
