Depo Headlight Issue

I just purchased some new Depo Black Bezel Headlights from Amazon. I siliconed them prior to installation in hopes of keeping any moisture out. I thought these headlights were decent with seals and kept most of the water out... well I was wrong. After a mild rain last night and a car wash this evening, this is what I find. The passenger side is hazy. Luckily, this happened within the warranty period so I can return them. Is this a common issue? Should I get a refund and purchase another brand or should I take my chances with a replacement?

 

I bought a tube of black silicone and went crazy with it where the lens and housing come together and had luck with that.

 

I siliconed the crap out of my Depos. One year later, one is developing condensation and the other isn't. I think it's a crap shoot, and I've just grown to live with it now.

 

I did that with mine, but it still leaked. I hate the process of removing the lights more than anything.

 

Buy cheap... get cheap.

 

I had that problem too with the eBay headlights. Since then I switched to Anzo headlights and have been lucky with no leaks.

 

Love my Depo tail lights. I bought OEM headlights for a reason.

 

It's pretty common. I have depo lights but I payed a little extra for capa certified and so far so good.

 

I agree. I think OEM is the best route if you want to shell out the $$$, but I am not wanting to spend a lot on Halogen lights. Plus, the reviews on this brand were decent, so I thought what the hell.

 

I know this thread is ancient, but for anyone else using these headlihts how did you guys deal with the hazy/clear coat failing on them?
