Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
I bought headlights back in the day for one of my VW's, made by DEPO brand. DEPO wasn't as good for VW's as it is for the BMWs back circa 2005, and I had problems with condensation right away. Recurring problems with condensation, not just "adjusting" to the environment.


Long story short one day i took out the hair dryer, added more clear silicone all around the headlight, let it set up over night, and never had condensation since then.


Regardless of what the seller says, if they get condensation inside them its a problem with the seal.
