The Putco Mesh Grill may be coming out soon, I'm waiting to see what it looks like. If its nice, you'll see a black LS beachside with one.
You should get a silver turn signal bulb that burns amber, it'll complete the clear headlight look.

My old '02 had a hole drilled into one of them and it still fogged up. In fact i think the hole made it worse. From what i remember there are certain area's which need more attention. Just gotta make sure the silicone is nice and smooth. After i cleared mine and resealed they never fogged again.

When I was selling the angel eye headlights what I found on most headlights that fogged up was that the black ring that holds the bulb in will come loose. Try to tighten that up a bit and if the screws are stripped out use some silicone around it to seal it up.

Do NOT drill holes in your headlights! You want to keep moisture from getting in and drilling holes in your headlights will defeat the purpose. Also, small holes or cracks in the headlights can let moisture in. Those are very hard to find and fix. Remember, it only takes a small droplet of moisture to create condensation in the headlight.

isn't there a small vent-like hole on the back of the headlights that lets them breathe? i didn't pay much attention to it but noticed a little rubber elbow on the back and it comes strait out the back of the headlight then turns down.

ive seen that rubber "vent" hose on my taillight that leaks (passenger side). dont think they really help. at least in my case, everytime it rains hard i have to change my brake bulb.
