make sure that when you put them back together, you have a 100% pefect seal, or else you'll go through headlight bulbs like no tomorrow. leaks = moisture.

wen i was putting everything back together..i was squeezing everything together for a few minutes while the glue was still go00oey making sure it was tightly sealed..and after that i got clear caulking from home depot that locks out moisture and put some on the tabs where i thought would leak..i put them on my car already and it rainned last nite and no leakage yet =]

you shouldn't have painted the reflective part of the turn signal. other than that, it looks ok, buy some silicone seal and makes sure its air tight.

they look good, but take them back apart and rip the reflectors out.

i had em in the oven for 300 degrees for 5-6 mins..it worked perfectly.....and for ur moisture problem..i would say leave em out in the sun or hair drier..or maybe even the oven..and put sum clear caulking around the cracks and tabs of the head light
