Sure it fixes it, it worked perfect on mine, have never had water vapor again. Maybe your LED bulbs are too gynormous and create too much heat. LOL Is the little breather hole open on yours?
As for how to clean them up, there is no way that I know of. I tried, then just bought a new set and replaced them with LED's.
Kspec Clear Corners don't exist, they are MOBIS Clear Corners, OEM products from the folks that make all of Hyundai and Kia's parts.
I tried the windex deal on my first set, it just made the staining and such worse.

Cdog, did you make sure the orings around the bulb connector is good? Is it sealing? Is it still there? Check this out before you start drilling holes or baking lense. The orings have a tendency to fall off when putting bulbs in and out.

I went through a car wash durring the daytime. I was not using my lights. I couldn't tell you if the breather hole is opened or not. I did not mess with the corners other then to put the proper connector, new seal for bulb and lamp inside Should the breather hole be closed off?
is there a way to get k-spec to ship me a new driver's side clear corner?

Hmm, DTN, first I'd take the corner off and see if the breather hole is working. If it's not clogged, you might wanna try making it a bit bigger. You need it to breathe, as that's what the problem is. The air inside gets hot and expands, cracking the clear corner at the very front tip (Bet you you'll find a hairline crack there), then when it cools the cooler air being drawn in is humid. What exact bulb are you using?
Yep, we will sell you just one corner if you need it. Post on our forums. It pissed me off too when it happened, but it hasn't happened again to me. A few other folks have had the issue.
Dude, this thread is OLD. LOL

SELL?!?!? I have ONLY had it installed for a week! I ran it through a car wash and water pooled at the bottom and discolored the inside. I am running superbrightles's 1157 bulbs, the mid-range ones. not the ones with like 50 LEDs. I did everything right. There's nothing that i can do about the water spots inside of my lens.

Yeah, SELL.
You can go to our forums on the site and post pics and your transaction # and such, maybe the Korean office will send you another one. They may not. Probably they will though.
