    Did anyone drill a little hole in the botton of the lens? Someone told me to do that to prevent the housings from melting, but Im wondering if some water would get in there and bust the bulb.

    I have a hole drilled in each corner light on the bottom, like a 7/62nd hole.

    No water has gotten in them ever.

    It should be the same for the headlights.

    Sorry... in your corners? like as part of the head light assembly and not the fogs? or am I just reading something wrong.

    In the actual turn signal lense, but it works the exact same in the headlights. Drill a hole, suck out all the moisture and let them sit in the sun to completey dry up.

    now that I re-read your right thats not exactly what he is asking.

    But anyways, drilling a hole to prevent the melting of the lense wont do anything.
