All is not perfect.
I noticed some condensation last night.
I've been exchanging emails with performanceautosolutions letting them know of what's going on with same pic. I went back down to check the headlights about 30-45 minutes later and the fog was gone.
They tell me:
-Continue to keep an eye out for it
-They'll cover all labor and materials to fix it and shipping back to them, though not clear if they'd cover shipping back to me. I estimate it's about $80 ground each way and since it's across the country, about 2 weeks worth in a semi which sucks. On top of that, it cost me $360 at the local Chevy dealership to swap these in so swapping them out and back in is another $700 burned for a grand total of over $2000 to get a set that may still get foggy! $#@%^&! aftermarket
-They state that "on some setups a small amount of fog can initially occur during the heat or air exchange (it's basically a greenhouse effect) that should dissipate and disappear. If it persists or gets worse, there may be an issue with the seal."
Performanceautosolutions.com guys remain highly responsive to my emails and to be fair, I've seen fogging like this on my OEM set on the Tahoe and my other cars on rainy, humid days. The difference is that those headlights are OEM and backed by the manufacturer so I never bothered as it went away and no water formed in the headlights. With aftermarket units, even if you do have an upstanding vendor, you still have to make sure to add up what's being sucked out of your wallet. People rarely get into the weeds as they all typically want to make sure to look better than they really are. Not I. I keep it real.
It's been in the 30s-40s here. I'm not sure I liked their tone or written response style to my emails, but that's par for course for these small business guys based on my experience. They get really defensive instead of focusing on taking away the pain that the customer is going through. As if I desire to bother them with this issue in the first place when in fact if their product worked without any issues, I'm a happy seller on their behalf for free! Ain't no Nordstrom/McKinsey service here, but then I do have an MBA which might make me the weirdo.
Not sure what to expect. I'll just keep an eye on it and give you guys full transparency!
Edit: Update - They'll pay for shipping back to them and returned back to me
