Default New to this site need some headlight opinions

So I painted my headlights last night (will post pics, painted a little different than others on here) and they turned out pretty good but one is fogging and turning on the headlights doesn't seem to help. Any thoughts? Also, I plan on getting some halo headlights eventually and found some for a pretty decent price IMO let me know what you think.

Here's the link

u didnt seal them good enough, moisture is getting in. re heat clean them up and use some kind of glue around them and make them air tight.

Alright thanks, I was thinking about coating the inside with some anti fog before sealing it up again maybe that would help. Any thoughts on the halos?

those look good.

the hole i drilled was in my hella off road lights, not my headlights, but i guess it would work the same, it was 1/8"-1/4" somewhere between there.. at the very bottom so if water got in it could drain out.

Thanks man I appreciate it. I drilled some tiny ones in it and drained the water out. Now its sitting in the sun to hopefully help evaporate the rest of it in there and then I plan to reseal everything back tight. I really dont want to have to take it a part again that was a pain in the @$$!

Really? I might have to look into that I only painted mine as temporary and if the one keeps fogging up Im just gonna go ahead and buy new ones. What do you think about the halos?
