Got out of car wash Friday afternoon and noticed some water condensation in passenger headlight. It getting dark outside so I waited until the next morning morning to remove the headlight. I was shocked to see the entire headlight filled water condensation. Contacted ebay seller (DT_Moto) for help but was told I'm out of 60 days limited warranty period. Nothing they can do but to contact the manufacturer for further assistance (Sonar in Taiwan). These lights only on the vehicle for four months and this is my third drive thru car wash. So, think twice before you buy guys. I'm back to my good old OEM headlights while attempting to drain and reseal the leaky light.
KHC headlights quality issues.

That's good to know, I know a small number of people have had issues with condensation in the past. Shame the seller isn't doing anything about it. Hopefully the manufacturer will be of some assistance in the matter.
I've had mine for a few months and haven't had any issues except for a very small spot on the bottom edge of the projector shrouds bubbling. Though my guess it is possibly from a prismatic effect of sunlight going through the projector lens and heating up the black plastic coating. It's small enough right now that I am not bothered by it and it's hardly noticeable unless you really look. I have to admit that while they are better than most aftermarket headlights I have seen, they are technically Chinese knock-offs.
Did you find the source of the leak?

I too noticed some paint (bubbles) around the bottom edge of the shroud. DT_moto did provide the manufacturer name (Sonar) but there's no contact info. Upon inspected the light assembly with the help of an air compressor this afternoon, I did indeed found the leak area right above the hi-beam. Yesterday, I drilled a small hole at the bottom of the lens to drain the water and lets it sit overnight. The light seems to be completely dried with some visible water spots in close-up. I'll reseal it but don't know if I want to reinstall it again. BTY, there's a guy I know had TYC aftermarket headlight on his Limited due to a collision and it's performing very well, no leaks or discoloration after almost two years. I may considering TYC next but also leaning toward to OEM if I can get a good deal.
