Leek?

LOL, when my car was under warranty I tried to get them replaced. Normal cond. :suspect:

It's a simple fix. Just take out the taillights, dry them sufficiently, then reseal the gasket on the back or fabricate your own, thicker gasket to replace the faulty one.

i just drilled 2 small holes on the bottom of the tailight. NO not the bottom of the lens but the black part down at the bottom. simple quick 3 minute fix.

Bought the seals from the Home Depot and it did the job it supposed to do. Since then, no more aquarium tail lights...lol
