Hello,I have the 7" Roundeyes on my 3rd gen toyota pickup and are having problems with fog inside them :smack:
Anyone else that have the same problem?
It came with the winter,was fine last summer :headscratch:

Roundeye stuff is supposed to be top notch stuff.  I can't imagine fog being good as usually water just causes the filaments to pop.

I'd suggest calling roundeyes directly.  Great vendor that supports this hobby/sport.

Talked to them and they could tell me that this was normal when winter comes :smack:
So I have to take the bulb out and let it dry :thumbdown:
Should have went for Hella lights  :dunno:

My DOT legal Hellas don't get moisture on the inside of them but they do have a little hole in the bottom of them for some reason.

Thinking about drilling a hole, if you could post a pic of the hole on the Hella I would appreciate that :)

WOooooooooooooo hold on time out.

don't be go drilling no holes.      R :eye: are very nice lights I :love: them   if you got a fog problem    then
one the gasket on the bulb has gone bad 
or they have been cracked during hard use 
or when U put the bulbs in  there was a high moister atmospheric conditions present

I would  take them out   and check the housings for leaks,  gasket   and if there good   bring them inside   and dry them out.   

How U gonna drill a hole in them? there glass
