Anyone with the Hella smoked ellipsoids have a problem with condensation in their housings? I have a little in one of my high beams. It may be from not having the cap on back for about a week during heavy rain and it's still stuck in there. But did any of you guys use any silicone around the lens before you installed? I'm thinking of doing this. Probably not necessary, but I don't want these things to get ruined when they're so new.

The seals split. You can purchase new seals or use silicone. make sure you get all the moisture out or the will just fog up again.Comment

MY high beams have a slight haze on them from time to time. I thought about removing them and sealing them but I cant remember the last time I have used them. I am not even sure if the bulbs work.Im now E30less.

Good I'm not alone, like you described, Ryan, it's just a haze. They seem to do this whenever we get some rain...today it was just the passenger side one. I never use my high beams either, I just have some cheap Sylvanias from AutoZone in there for the highs. I was going to put my bluish ones that were in my old high beams, but one was burnt out...for how long, I have no clue. That's partially why I was having so much trouble when you guys were helping me with wiring up that ground to the post, I was working with a dead bulb!Originally posted by Ryan Stewart-Brandon
