LED Headlights Fogging

[Joern]

Hi,

I have a 2011 Ford Expedition and switched my old OEM headlights to new LED lights (Sealight H13/9008). I love the new headlights but got a lot of moisture in the headlight housing right after the install. I tried to reseal them but with no luck. I bought new headlight housings from Ebay and switched them out. I don't get really moisture in them now but they still start fogging up when it rains or the temps drop. Does that have to do with the new LED lights? Ebay said they would send me new ones but I'm not sure if that will solve the problem. Anyone else has that problem or any ideas?

Thanks!

The aftermarket housings are all known for being poorly sealed. The only way to truly fix it is to open them up and seal them properly. Or go back to OEM.

Thanks! So you think it's really the housing and not the LED's?

I don't know how warm the housing gets with LEDs but , maybe the OEM halogens kept the housing warm and helped to evaporate the moisture.

Yes. LEDs don't produce moisture. The same issues exist with the aftermarket housings with regular headlight bulbs as well.
