Another VIP Motoz buyer with condensation reporting in! However, mine is only on the driver side and wasn't sealed correctly so soap/water is currently screwing my headlights as we type! I already contacted them and they reminded me about the warranty but they are currently out of the headlights This situation really sucks because I personally dont trust myself to take off my front bumper and replace the headlights myself. So this whole thing will still probably cost around $600. Not to mention I had XPel installed on the headlight to provide it some extra protection (I know this doesn't relate to the condensation, I just need to rant).

Definitely ask for compensation for the Xpel at the very least. They should compensate you for any installation costs as well if they cared about their reputation.

Do you mind sharing what sealant you used?

There should be 3 ***** behind the headlight that adjusts the light level.

If not call VIP motoz and explain the situation to them.

I ended up going ahead and purchasing these headlights for my 2011 and these are 100% compatible with our models without any modification. I had the standard halogen headlights before upgrading and these fit perfectly in case anyone else was interested. I also got much better light output compared to the factory projector and I don't have any condensation issues.

Glad you see another positive response, the light output is definitely better than stock!

Yes! They showcased a video explaining which wire needs to be required in order to run as DLR.

I would link you however my work network blocks social media.

If you go on their website or if you look up WHITEBEAST on his post for his review with VIP motoz, I believe he posted a video as well. Just look up his username and see the threads he started.

What I did was I Just drive in ACC mode for my lights during the day time and turn on my headlights when need be.

Well, if you want to run LED at DRL, you would need Replays and Add on Circuit.

BUT I have one question to those who own these headlights, one side of my headlight is aimed very low, does anyone know where to adjust the beams height and which way to turn? Pls and thank you! Would like an answer before i do it tomorrow night!
