I went to test whether everything was working okay and properly sealed... and I'm hearing a water dripping sound inside of the rear bumper possibly? Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a normal occurrence? Haven't really noticed it before when I had OEM tail lights.

I tried to get the phone as close as possible to allow the sound to be recorded. This happens on both sides of the tail lights as a note. |
What you are hearing is water dripping inside the car and building up. The black piece on the top of the taillight must be flush to guide water out. To access where the water is collecting remove the trunk panels on the left and right sides. Put your hand by the lower quarter panels with a cloth to collect the water if it hasn't evaporated.
