my dealership said it was a problem w/ the housing, not the tail light. which makes sense considering ppl who get it 'fixed' actually have the problem return. future models will fix it.

I got my driver-side tail light housing replaced by my dealer under warranty.
The mechanic I talked to mentioned he'd noticed the TSB but had never actually seen it happen before, so I'd guess it's pretty rare or was quickly fixed in production. |

It would get some level of warranty but it wouldn't be a completely new 3 year warranty I don' suspect. It would be some minimum level of warranty (like 90 days to a year) or the end of the existing warranty, whichever is longest.

The headlights usually have a little rubber tube to vent. I think I remember seeing this on my Integra....

I'm almost at this point as well. I've had 2 sets replaced, then siliconed ever opening/mating are I could find and one of them still filled up like a lake.

What I did to my condensation is that I did the DIY fix but I didn't change anything everything is the same, I dry it up and then it just despair. but right now it's spring where I live i don't know it might happen again I'll just take it out and let it dry again XD.. but I wouldn't do anything that voids warranty !!!!

I think it would cause the chrome to rust faster.
Some guy who did a diy painted tail pk right. Noted that after he open and resealed the tail light. He didn't have condensation issues. |

I had my tail lights changed four times and it finally stopped the condensation (then I got rear-ended fml). Anyways, just keep your head up and try replacing a couple more times. Maybe even go to a different dealership.

Btw I actually didn't waste any time because my dealer was right next to my school so I just dropped it off and had them drive me to school and pick me up when I was done lol |

Did they bend the metal on the frame the last time they installed?
