    I recently bought some new euro corners off ebay for my 98 GP.

    They look great, but the passenger headlight has some condensation built up on the lens and it makes it look pretty sub-par.

    Anyone have some ideas on why one of them has the condensation in it and the other does not? But more importantly, is there any ways i can fix this?

    ^the seal on them must not be the best! water is seeping (sp?) in there! the BEST way 2 fix would be 2 seperate the lense and the housing, and reseal em'!

    No resealing is needed, you would be wasting your time. Since condensation is caused by temp differences You need to make some weep holes at the bottom of the assembly. This would help keep the temp on the outside of the light the same in the inside. I drilled 2 very small little holes at the very back and the very front on the bottom and it took care of the problem. If you have big puddles of water then they need to be resealed.

    the most common place for headlights and cornors to leak are the holes where you put the bulbs into. sometimes they dont seat right or the gasket is worn.

    check into that.

    as previously stated, there's moisture in the light because it cant escape, so drill a hole in the bottom corner and there ya go. the projectors never condensate because they were vented. same principle and you don't go gunking them up with silicone
