We carry ecodes, but in sets.

I can't comment about the LED headlights, but I thought you should know you CAN still get new ecodes.

Maybe you can fix the problem Ecode. Take it out, seal up any problem spots with silicone, put a couple of those little dessicant (sp?) "DO NOT EAT" packets in the lens with string tied around them and tape up the bulb holes for a while with the string hanging out under the tape. Let it set for a while, then put it back in the car and pull of the tape, pull out the packets, and quickly put the bulbs back in.

I haven't done it before but if you get lucky and seal the right spot, then hopefully the packets will dry out the air inside the lens enough to prevent future fogging.

I really have no idea if this will actually work or not, but I've been collecting those little packets in a sealed jar to experiment with if my lenses ever fog up.
