Do YOUR aftermarket headlights leak?

I have read every thread I could find about the different headlights you guys/gals have on your cars.

I don't see too much info on the quality of the product you purchased. I am going to be buying some type of black projectors or OEM black housings, and want to know if you had any issues with leaking, or condensation building up in the light?

I really like the look of projectors, but I am not a fan of H1 bulbs and would rather stick with the 9007's.

I'm leaning towards the OEM black housings with a nice HID kit, but thought I would see what you guys say.

Unfortunately, leaks are quite often a problem with the halo projectors and even ones people paint, it all comes down to luck for the halo projectors and how well people re-seal them for retrofits. Most of the people who sell painted headlights on here do a pretty good job of sealing them, so leaks usually aren't a problems. The painted ones on ebay I'm not so sure about, I'd buy them off of somebody on here if possible. It's usually just the halo ones. I have the 3rd gen projectors. Mine don't leak to the point of water droplets building up in them, but they do get a little foggy.

I've had mine on my car for around a year now and no leaks no fogging no nothing. I either got really lucky or just haven't messed with them enough to make them leak.

What LED bulbs are you using for your dome light? I clicked the link but I am not spending 65 bucks on that ****.
