They're a pain in the ass to cut out. To make a professional set I'd really need to stamp them out of the foam instead of cutting them out. It's not the prettiest fix, but a very functional one and that's what counts.

So my driver side tail light got replaced like 2-3 weeks ago. And the new one also have condensation. Will there be any issues with the dealership this time? Do i just keep going back until i get a good one?

Anyone asked to pay for the tail light replacement?

Here at dealer now. Took my car about an hour ago. But first they asked if I payed for the light yet. Then service guy said he was going to lunch but he'd take care of it...so I don't know what to expect here.

Had my tail lights replaced last Saturday and after this week's big rain storms, I'm seeing condensation in them again. Gonna try digging around this weekend to see where the leak still is.

Guaranteed it's the gasket.

My tail lights and LED daytime running lights are getting condensation in them now

.. hope there's a TSB for the LED's soon too. I'm going to wait until spring when it rains alot more so they can clearly see the condensation in the LED's, since they're not as evident as the tail light condensation.

I just had a new set ordered by the dealer. No hassle at all. Will install next week. I just wondering if it happens again what to do?

Since, I received mine 2 weeks ago... we had one 60 degree day mixed with heavy rain and snow with 5 degree temps in that week...(Crazy week) Thro all the elements I see no condensation in either tail!!!!

I havent had any problems yet and i got the car September.. I went to paint my tails black and while i was doing that i got adhesive and layered it al around the gasket and glued the under side all onn! so woohooo

follow up today, no condensation. forecase shows high chances of rain alllll week. so i guess it'll be put up to the test.

just got my Passenger side tail light replaced today. Hopefully the condensation doesn't return. I think i'm more happy about the free car wash
