For the price new ones are the way to go, loving mine. I just didn't have the patience or desire to sand and buff my old ones.

If you were near me I'd wetsand and buff them for free. Sadly everyone now and days are out to make money. The product you actually use to do headlights are like $5 at MOST; the only thing you're really wasting is 2-3 sheets of wetsand paper. Sad on the mark-up

Replaced lenses have had them on for a little while. They don't fit quite as tight as the oem lenses. After washing engine bay they fogged up on the inside. They ended up drying out. I'm a little disappointed. They look great.
Where did you end up buying them? I've never taken apart the headlight lenses before, but I would assume there's some kind of seal. Anytime you take something like that apart, it's good practice to replace the seal, as it's already "molded" to the old lenses. Wouldn't fit right with a new set. Is there a seal in there to replace, and if so, did you do it?
Mine do the same thing from time to time in really heavy all day rain, along with my fogs, I just turn em all on and go for a drive. Usually clears them out. First time I saw it happen I was furious, so I disassembled them, cleaned up the seal REALLY good and closed them back up. Helped a little but it's not 100%, but neither is anything aftermarket.

I also need headlight lenses.
What if I order them with the OEM headlight lens seal? Will I still have the fogging issue?
