Hi Everyone!

Well both my DRL lights been filled with water since the beginning of fall. I got my 2015 BRZ in April and as soon as it got really rainy it started to fog up.

I finally took a good look at them by taking them out. I thought I could remove a plug behind it and dry it out. You can't as it's sealed up.

I noticed that on both of them the front clear plastic lens is glued crooked. There isn't a good seal all around the front lens and that's where the water is getting in.

Going to take them to the dealer to have them replaced. I'm sure they are under warranty.

I have a feeling that something was wrong at the DRL factory and maybe yours is messed up like mine. Here are 2 images of them. Check yours before you warranty is over.
