Pretty bad condensation in Winjet Headlights..
Hey everyone, so after washing my car ended up having pretty bad condensation in my winjet headlights, I thought I may have read somewhere that it was common with them but that after a couple days it burns off and doesn't come back?
Can anyone shed some light? Do I need to re-seal my headlights?

After the condensation evaporates, you'll be left with residue on the inner surface of the lens - will require you to bake apart the headlamps and clean off the lens/reseal. Never trust the quality of aftermarket headlamps

Nope, alot of owners mentioned to me that it is just getting use to being "out" in the conditions. After my first week of ownership, no more problems,condensation, or residue. I did have the right side bulb go out. But easily fixable.
