It's easy to blame a bad seal job but when I hear both sides have LEDS burning out I think cheap circuitry may play a roll possibly. Kind of off topic but I seen a F150 coming the other direction 2 days with the U-bar headlights I think those are Anzo they looked good but the two "U" LEDs on the driver side were flickering like crazy. My thoughts and impression was a good looking expensive truck now looks ghetto with those craptastic heads, lol. Again those flickering lights could also be from corroded contacts (lack of or no dielectric grease) and yes I do believe lots of electrical gremlins come from bad aftermarket user installs but with those three brands the product is just as guilty if not more then many of the installers of those products doing substandard grounds or other electrical connections etc.
You said it all brother

we got some pretty good rain the past few days, the 2nd rain since having mine installed and saw slight condensation in the lens. not much, not covering any LEDs but it was creeping up from the bottom (gone now). the lens itself is pretty thin and do need to add some silicone to the lens. once I get some time again, I'll do just that. so far I really like the LEDs.

Yeah that's the most crucial part especially cuz it gets pounded by rain snow salt and the car wash

definitely will be sealing it up more when it gets warm. though I'll have to cut the silicone on there to get to the lens.

Be prepared to Replace them! It's Too Late once Moisture Appears inside!

does anzo or stage 3 replace them if they're damaged by water? I hope it doesn't get there but it looks like I may have to do this today. I got splashed on last night on my drivers side with muddy water and see it fogging up inside. all still works but just to be sure? or am I just SOL if they fry?
