Fog inside new headlamp install????

Hey whats up guys and girls, just needed some advice on which headlamps to get for my 2001 honda civic coupe. im trying to decide between the angel eye set they sale on ebay or another brand made by TYC. PPl have told me that TYC brand are the best to go with however there corner is still amber color and not clear like the ones on ebay however i think the ones on ebay are cheap but i could be wrong. ALso can someone tell me why ppl have this foggy looking appearence after they install aftermarket headlights??? Ive seen it on several cars once they install there after market lights it appears to be fog on the inside of the lights i dont know if its an install mistake or the lights just arent use to that much heat can someone please hlep me out it would greatly appreciated thanks alot

apparently (from what i've read on these forums) the angel eye projectors are very badly sealed, and some people dont re-seal it, so moisture gets in the light and fogs it up. easy way to fix it, go get some silicone sealant and re-seal the light assembly

Some of the headlights aren't completely sealed which can cause fogging.

so basically buying aftermarket lights is a huge mistake because of the manufactuers that dont seal there lights? how difficult would it be to seal it with silicone and where do i seal??? also have you heard about TYC lights? are they any good?

its not a mistake buying them since most of them look hella cool.. if you look at your stock headlights, you just seal where the clear plastic meets the back part of the housing, all the way around
