Default IPF 920H4 JK Headlight Kit...

Hey everyone,

I recently put the IIPF 920H4 JK Headlight Kit in my jk and noticed today after a little wheeling and a wash that the housings where all fogged up on the inside.
Has anyone else had this problem with their lights ? Stock or modded ? I installed them correctly with all the gaskets in place and so on...just wondering if the housings are no good.
There where a few water crossing along the way, could the lights have suffered the same fate as the thunderous oem horn did today ? The horn sounds like a dyeing cat now...full of water and mud. Just waiting it out to see if it dries, any ideas or advice would be great, thanks.

Answer to my question, when I was installing a new horn today I took the grill off and the lights out and dried out the inside of the housing of the IPF lights. Upon inspection it appears that the pressure washer was the culprit. The IPF lights seal withe lens sitting into the housing not the housing into the lens like the stockers. I guess enough water got in to create a little bit of fog in the lens. A small bead of high temp clear silicone around the edge sealed them up for a little extra insurance, and the trim ring covers any evidence ! So FYI don't blast the lights with the pressure washer like a meathead like me, good pressure from the garden hose should do the trick next time !
