Another Black Headlight Thread

Hey guys i saw these off a link from fordtruckworld, was wondering what you thought of the quality ! I dont want a POS, but i really love the clear corners and they are cheap! The DEPO and HD lights have the amber corners! I also dont know the actual manufacturer of these lights, there are three sets all from different ebay stores for sale right now!

That may say it all. Sometimes cheaper isn't better.

One of my Depos fogged up last week after a year of trouble free use.

A bead of clear silicone works well. We did it to my buddies 01 screw. He bought a set that fogged. We completly sealed the second set with clear silicone and it works like a champ.

My depo's are great, no problems whatsoever. I think as long as you don't blast 5 million psi with the pressure washer they'll be leak and condensation free.

Sorry RED WING NUT, but (again) you're in the minority with the fogging issue. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. As stated by others, the bead of silicone caulk is very important. VertexRacing will provide you with instructions to this fact when you buy these lights. I have these on my truck -- pics in my gallery.

I just did a search and could not find them either. Strange, there usually is a bunch of them for sale.

lots of projector style and tail lights, but thats it.

Throw my name in there with Red Wing Nut.Mine didn't last 3 months before fogging after a wash with the hose. Sent it back for a replacement, sealed them both before reinstalling and no problems after that. Course I bought the OEM Harley heads months later and the DEPO's have been in the box since, waiting for a new home.
