DV8 Offroad HLCJL-01 LED Headlight - After just one month.

[Edub]

I installed these the week I got my Gladiator (last month). Both are already fogging up. Just a heads up.

Anyone else experiencing this?

That's normal. Unless it's pooling up on the bottom, they will do that. It will go away. It's moisture burning off that's trapped inside the led Housing. Most of them do it, even more so if you live in a place where it's high in humidity. There is a difference between condensation and water ingress.

thanks, ill take this down then. I wasn't aware its normal.

Why take it down? This is good info, and something others may not be aware of that may save them headache if they have the same issue. Didn’t know these were out there and may look at a set.

Does it permanently go away after a while? Assume oem do not do this.

Some OEMs do it as well. The ones I had on my JKU did and my buddies overland JT did it as well. It all comes down to how much air is trapped inside when they seal it and a lot of times how humid the weather is where you live. The more humid it is the more likely it's going to happen. It will or should go away after awhile

Has the fog dissipated yet?

it did. but honestly. despite what was posted above, my last set of aftermarket LED fog lights (cheap Chinese knock off brand at that) never fogged up. So I'm still a little skeptical. I called up Quadratec and they agreed to file a warranty claim and send me a new set (when ever they become available again).
