I've bought the "Phillips" headlights and never had problems with them. Typically the larger lights are trouble free. The smaller lights I have always needed to seal with clear silicone because they always leak eventually.

do you have a link to where u got it . Are the philips same design ?

So far I haven't seen any more condensation. Hoping was only humidity trapped inside

If got issues with the replacement then will look to spend more on JW or trucklite . Btw JW said condensation is normal and to be expected . But still bother me to see those clouds on the lens
I have trucklite 27270Cs and have had them on for a few years now. No issues so far (touch wood). They've survived 2 russian winters already. I think i paid $349 for the pair on amazon.com at the time.

Do you guys have a manufacturer/ part number for the DRL lights?

I see this in the near future

Any 4 inches fog lamp in amazon will work but check the recently post from mixmansc . He found a very nice drl almost the size of the one in our trucks

Yep - turns out certain model years of Toyota truck use a fog light that is right around 4.75" in diameter which will fit the pocket in the plastic much better. That was the one thing that was holding me up. I have some other 4" lights that I trial fit but I was not liking the gap around edge and was not digging how they looks when modified to use the stock lights as the mounting.

The only really nice looking ones I've found are from Morimoto and one other company. I mentioned both in another thread I started regarding them.

I just finished installing the JW speaker model 8700 evolution 2. the install was incredibly easy, just trimmed the bucket with a dremel and had everything done in under an hour and they look awesome. only snag was the alignment screw was stripped and needed a little modification.
