My tails do it. Normal too?

I haven't looked at my tails, I will let you know. Probably the same thing if they are not sealed.

Tails yes headlights no...but than I don't run stockers up front...

I would guess if one tried to seal the bulb port that might help some what....

I agree it is kinda annoying....

Btw----my Retorfits are sealed....

Listen I went through this with my wife's new Explorer. She talked with the dealership and had taken pictures. They sent to Ford and Ford sent back a technical spec on the lights. As mentioned above this is actually a normal occurrence for condensation due to venting of the lights. If there is actual liquid build up that is another issue all together. Condensation will evaporate with vehicle operation. Do not concern yourself with this issue.

Both headlights and "tail Lights" have the vent holes.
If you look at them you will see a black circle like piece of cloth tape or that's what it looks like but it's actually a special membrane to allow moisture and air to escape.
My retros actually have 4 vent caps designed for this.
Fred, were your lights built by Dawson? If so I know he puts vent holes in there to help.
Him and I have talk about this before.

Due to heat created by headlights (especially retrofit hid) they are vented to prevent bigger issues..

I was wondering about the light output with the RSIworks how much heat they'ed put out.

My lights have 4 vents on the back and I add 3 more for the added heat they produce.
You and I are the only ones with our type of lights to date.
I've been running mine for quite a few months and put them through quite a beating at Havoc and Silver Lake Sand Dunes with zero issues.
I've had a very very tiny bit of condensation once but it went away on mine and it was because of a couple of days rain and cooler temps.
Only way I saw it was because I looked at it on an angle and saw it barely.
I also add moisture absorbing material to the inside of the main housing to try and prevent as much fogging as possible.
They are located on the left and right corners of the lights where the fogging usually occurs.
You won't be able to see them because they covered with the face of the light.
Prevention is key in the RSiWORKS lights...lol

thanks for the info guys. I will keep a lookout, its not that big of a deal, but just wanted to make sure this is normal.

Yes sir....I have never noticed any condensation in the headlights and only once or twice in the tails, but usually dissipates fairly fast...nothing that got me concerned...

I never noticed the membranes, but I never paid much attention....was to busy trying to get them hooked up...very good to know....again another arrow for the quiver of you and. Dawson's lights....
