Headlight Problem...need advice

Alright just bought these black halo LED projector headlights in March from a company(Ipex Motoring) on Ebay. When we installed them, I noticed the "fitting" problem in the picture...finally noticed today after it rained that moisture was getting into the Right(looking at the truck) headlight and fogging it up..also shown in the pic here:


Just need some advice on to whether find someone who can do some custom fitting for the headlight(if possible) or to send em back...which would be a huge PITA. Or if any of you guys bought the same lights and had the same problem...thanks guys!
-Jake

Pic isnt showing up. To stop the fogging and water getting in just get some silicone and reseal them.

its showing up fine now, but there were just metal clips holding the lense on the headlight assembly on the set i bought, looks to be a different set of halo headlights. If you take some silicone calk and just seal them after letting them dry out entirely, you should not have the same problem. Is the headlight assembly not fitting your truck properly? I need to seal my LED tail lights and my halo headlights also, both let in a small amount of moisture.

The Lead Tech at the dealership told me they left holes in the headlight due to the elevated heat produced by the headlight, which I'm not so sure that is correct, but what do I know.

Well when I bought them they said it would fit 04-07 f150's(no particular style) so I didn't think there would be a problem but there is haha. I plan on getting some silicone and sealing em. About what you said with the holes, I don't see any holes in my headlights, are you talking about in the back part of the headlight or where? But they do produce a good amount of heat, no lie lol.

sorry for the confusion, the headlights with the holes were my on my wifes mazda cx-7, my aftermarket ford headlights dont have any holes for ventillation, or atleast I didnt see any, the clear headlight lense is clipped on to the headlight assembly but I should probably seal it with some silicone soon, the style halo headlights you have is not the same as mine, but I like the look of yours, I would definately ask the manufacturor if they packaged the wrong headlights or if there is some other type that it may have been mixed up with...good luck, the truck looks great!
