Just ordered my set through the website last night. Already shipped out! Let's hope this fixes my condensation problem. I had the tails cut open and painted too, so I can't just take them back to the dealership

I spotted some tiny condensation yesterday morning, so I also ordered some GN gaskets, just to be safe. It evaporated today but I'm not taking any chances. Mine's a march 2014 build.

Waiting for rain to test out the new gaskets, in the meantime, here is one tip for the tail light removal/install.

Those plastic cable ties that secures itself to the tail light bolt threads, yeah, don't waste your time trying to pry the built in zip tie loose (your back will thank you). Just clip the white zip tie to free the cables, and feed your own zip tie through the opening to re-secure the cable.

Just ordered a set of gaskets. This is the second time the condensation happened on the same tail light side. First time was replaced per warranty. The second time they want to charge me $300. I said, “hell no!”

I’m planning on using a desiccant pack to dry the condensation out first, then install the gaskets. Hopefully, it’d work since I’ve never removed my tail lights before and have no idea where the leak is.

I just ordered a set as well after seeing condensation last week in my Toms that I have had for 2 years.

After washing my car and having the tail light fill with water for the 3rd time I have just ordered my gaskets!!

I bought the GN gaskets along with brand new set of OEM tail lights. After about two months, the condensation slightly came back....I even have duct tape all over my taillight where the water drains into the channel of the tail lights. Water somehow will reach inside and eventually causes to moisten the inner housing. It's not as bad as before but the aftermath is still prominent upon evaporation. This problem is inevitable. With all of that water running down that channel, it will always come back. This is such a headache and I'm honestly starting to have second thoughts about keeping this car... It really sucks.
