DJ Auto Condensation
I just picked up a set of DJ Autos with 55w HID, and white light led angel eyes from DDM Tuning.
They seemed perfectly fine when i got them,
but when i plugged them in to test them before installing, as the HIDS began to warm up, the lens started to condense.
im assuming that since DDM opens the DJ Autos to put in the angel eyes, that once they were done, they didnt seal it properly.
does anyone have any good advice on how to fix it?
or know of anyone who can fix it for me?

thanks!

Your best bet is to call DDM and go on from there. For a temporary fix, you can use an air compressor to get the condensation out of there.

I had no condensation on my old set of DJ Autos with no AEs, even running without the cap on one side. My new DJ Auto's w/ Thinlines are coming next week, hope there's no condensation problems with them. =X

Pretty sure the condensation will go away. My Headlights always get condensation, but seem to go away after a while

well i never updated this post,
but i just went ahead with the install,
and installed the headlights even though they were having condensation in the beginning.
ever since i installed it i, i never had a condensation problem again.
and now i love my headlights.
i guess buying from ddm is pretty much a shoot or miss,
but for me i am pretty happy!
