sounds exactly like the problems that i am having... frown ...i wouldn't really care if it was for a crappy car, plus i had chris do the headlight mod to it. i am quite positive that it would of came out better if they were ford. at least chris had an easier time taking them apart....

Eric, Tim had the same problem with the non-Ford headlight. The air was quite humid when I put the headlights back together. You might want to give them a chance to dry out by removing them and putting them inside the house or somewhere it is warm and dry. Maybe put them in the oven for a few hours on the lowest setting. Make sure they don't get hotter than you can put your hand on.

Honestly, I think the Ford ones have some kind of anti-fog stuff on the inside. The assemblies are not completely sealed, and they have vent tubes on the back. There was nothing wrong with the design that I saw (and I saw everything on the inside, too.)

If the moisture thing is the only problem, I wouldn't worry about it. They should clear after a while like Tim's did. Plus, if you get them, and don't take them apart like I did, that might lower the chance of moisture inside, too. smile

that's fine...the car pretty much is garage kept during most of the week so i'll see what happens (i am too lazy to take them back out again....) i will probably glue the rubber on a little more - it was falling off a little. quality aside of the bat headlights, you did a good job of them, the clear side markers came out really well and i appreciate all the work you did for me...i can't wait to see the outcome of the rear lights you are "working on"... wink

Now, try and call eric at BAT and tell him you weren't happy with them. My bet is he'll blame it on the car and tell you the lights are fine...

Same story, different part...

I just bought a new headlight from B. Jenkins and paid about $160. So far so good... plus Bill is great to deal with and a pleasure to talk to!
