Do I have to silicone the housing like other people are doing or does this one not fog like some too?

I have not had a problem with this model but I have with other ones made by other companys.

I haven't had the fogging problem others encountered. When it rains water drops do make the image cloudy. Just cleaning the lens after it rains has worked for me.

I did not silicone mine. I've had for about 6 months now and haven't any issues with it, fogging or otherwise. Very pleased with how it functions and looks.

I have not had any fog issue. but i don't use this one anymore. I switch to the license plate one. Same company and I haven't any issue with it. I plan to put the one you are interested in on my other vehicle.

I've not had any issues with fogging and did not silicone it. It's been great for the back of my lifted jeep so I don't hit anything/anybody while backing up

I don't know, I use this shield with woodworking power tools. Has never fogged up while doing this.

I never had this issue. My kids leaked all over the place all the time. But I did read another persons review with a similar issue. She had to cut a hole in the silicone to make it work.

I really don't know. I haven't had a problem with the mirror fogging up and am pretty use to just pouring a Solo cup of water into the back.

No, I don't think it's normal. Mine was clear first time. My guess is, if you use cloudy water, there is a leak there somewhere, most likely to be the filter elements or the plugs(holes - if you use 2 elements instead of 4) not tight enough. If you use clear water then I'm not sure...if you didn't clean the elements and primed them then may be dusts would have got int there and make it cloudy...I hope this helps

I want to buy this, but am afraid of all the leaking in the lights comment..I was thinking maybe if it was sprayed with silicone spray? Any feedback would be appreciated!

No. I have not found one yet that is fog free. Just warm it a bit first and it will cut down on the fogging. I use mine daily.

I just touched both sides of the glass and there is space between my fingers so it appears double paned. It does not fog up nor does it sweat. Works perfectly.

I took this during a kayaking trip. I didn't have that problem. The casing is air tight, so there shouldn't be any moisture to cause lens fogging.

It is not, but after drilling a tiny hole at the lowest point in each clear plastic, no more water or fog. Dirt may get in, but after 6 month they are still clean.

The beam pattern is not a fog light pattern. Rigid makes different light patterns and they do offer a fog pattern

There's basically no mess. A little condensation is all you have to worry about. As far as noise goes, it's kinda loud. Maybe as loud as a hairdryer on low. It's very worth it, though.

Haven't had mine for more than a few months (approximately 3-4), so far have has no issues with fogging though. I know it is still early to tell, but running water over them hasn't been a problem for me thus far. Hope this helps. -Jesse

I installed myself and was careful to seal and caulk liberally. There are no drafts of hot or cold air, even when it was below zero in the winter and above 90 in the summer. There are also no leaks, although on a rare occasion I have noticed some condensation on the lens if my wife takes a long hot steamy bath, (one of my skylights is in a bathroom). The other skylights have not shown condensation.

I just bought one, waiting for delivery, I think during assembly I will use clear silicone to insure it does not leak. Will have to wait for assembly to determine how and where to use the silicone.

I have not noticed fogging and it keeps the wind off so it is not as cold but if the weather is cold it isn't warm in the atv

yes. I think I know what you're talking about. Mine aren't fogging so much, but vision is terribly impeded - almost looks like a thin coating of vaseline or something on the lens - horrible optically. Tried pump quick spit and even washed - no difference. In fact, I've stopped using them and back to the less comfortable but optically correct Speedos.
