anyone make a decent/cheap clear side lamp?

after I was done hiding the wires I took it out to make sure everything worked like it should.....and the next thing I heard was something hit the ground at 70 mph. Apparently, I forgot to tighten the light back down

I'm never working on the car past 3am again.

thanks

Even the more expensive ones that I have bought always seems to get condensation as well as discoloration. It's been disappointing

I am on my second pair. I think they are all pretty cheap. The black plastic strip around the light keeps peeling off and that is with it never being in a high pressure car wash. If you find a good set, post it up.

I bought some ebay clears. One light had condensation, but I drilled a really little hole in the bottom front corner of the lense so some air could circulate, and the condensation hasnt been back. I drilled the hole at an angle so water couldnt come in as I drive in the rain, havent had any more problems with it yet... Also, with the little black strip, super glue works great!

I got mine from 5.0 resto about 4-5yrs ago. A lot of people have had bad luck with the rubber coming off. I drove mine a good bit for 2yrs or so been in the garage mostly since but the first 2yrs were outside uncovered. They are still perfect. The rubber does not seem that secure even new so I did not expect them to last but they have.

I got lucky I guess.
