Valenti tail lights torque spec?

As per the title. Had a buddy install my tails, been noticing condensation in them. Not alot just a little and no water after a good rain fall. But just finished washing the car and realized water got into the lights. I know I seen someone post torque specs on here but been searching and can't find them. Can anyone help? I'm assuming they aren't tight enough as there's still some movement between the tail light and the car itself

Nice find on the torque spec humfrz.
I would first take the lights off and make sure the gaskets are seated properly, see the install instructions. Mine have been on for ~2 years with no water leaks or condensation.

Yeah I'm going to have to do that. As I didn't install them I got a friend to help. But all he did was tightened them down til he thought was good. Guess the saying still stands where if you want something done right do it yourself.
