Yes, it will be covered by the warranty and they will give you new lights.. However, I would wait until you have another service to do, such as an oil change.

This is a known problem. Print out this TSB and take it to the dealer:

I had mine done and they did it the same day (they probably had some in stock because this is a known issue).

As long as the mods did not cause the problem, it would be covered by the warranty. If the warranty is up, there's no warranty to cover it.

I don't know how much water is involved when this happens on an RX-8, but my daughter had an Accord where one taillight would fill with water. I fixed that by drilling a couple of drain holes in the bottom.
