Default freakin fish eye!!!

I got a 99 Ek. But the headlights or lamp fogs up. The rubber mouth on the back of the lamp is on and fits perfect. How do I fix the fog from coming in? Someone told me to drill a smal hole into the headlight. I was like wtf I gotta see if this is true.
And I have the after market headlights. The one with the black housing inside. Should I keep those or the stock lamps?? I never seen anyone really with nice looking black headlights any pics someone?

Aftermarket headlights are well known to fog up. Just open them up and re-seal them nice and tight.

Remove the lamps, bake them in the oven for awhile at 225, until the condensation is removed - there should be a vent on them toward the top.
After that, put a heavy bead of clear silicone around the seam where the lens attaches. Jam it into the cracks/crevasses with your finger (wear a glove)
...Its because aftermarket headlights arent put together well.

You can swap for oem parts, yes. But doing the above should take care of it.

When buying the silicone, I suggest getting the kind that requires solvent to wash off, not the soap-and-water type. Hence, gloves.

You dont always have to open the housings, but it wouldnt hurt.
