I just purchased a set of tyc projector headlights and i have condensation in both sides. Do you think it could be from the install or the housings are defective?

Sometimes those tyc's leak.... open em up and use silicon to seal em when they
dry or send em back if you wanna, but they might just leak again [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Had the same problem with my aftermarket tails on my old civic and just had to deal with it. Tried sealing them tons of times and it just worked. But yeah can't beat the OEM ones

I am currently in the same boat as you my friend. My black TYC projectors are leaking, but only on the drivers side. Today I took em out and let em dry out, but now I have water spots on the inside of light. I've called TYC and emailed, but have gotten no response from em. I figure before I add any silicone or start messing with them, I would get in touch with them so that I don't void my warranty. What have you done for the prob???

i called tyc.they were pretty helpful, they gave me another number for the branch closer to my area and i spoke to a manager and she, more a less send them back and they will replace them. they were pretty straight up about it. no run around.

its not from your install, its the housing. return it from where you bought it and don't open it up coz u won't be able to get it exchanged.
