You can clearly see a line where the water dried. The dealer (South Coast Subaru) is replacing the housing for me and I have a loaner to drive until then.

In the end, TSBs are only guidelines on how to do warranty work. If a dealer wants to perform warranty work and is highly confident to get it approved by Subaru, they'll ignore a TSB.

Only the service writers truly green would follow a TSB to a T.

Interesting. My service department manager told me Subaru would not reimburse them for replacing my tail lights unless it actually had water in it Prior to receiving the updated TSB, he was very opened to changing both of my tail lights originally.
