Moisture in lights - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Sileighty_guru · 08-27-2012, 10:40 PM

So after putting 2k miles on there is one thing that is pissing off my OCD I detail on the side and have always kept my limited brz CBS shiny, but now I have moisture in both tails, and both DRL's!! Dealer is going good for new ones but it seems like it is a manufacturing issue? Does the same company make both fixtures? Should I expect the new ones to do the same? Makes the car look like shitola at least as far as I am concerned!

There is a TSB on this problem. Dealer should know about it.

Even the DRL's have moisture in them now?... We are talking about the LED strip that's right above the fog lights right?... You make me worry even more now.

Got pictures for the DRLs??

I will take some pics of the lights tonight when I get out! Raining today so they should be good and wet

And yes the dealer up here is awesome! They didn't even go look at the car they just ordered all four lights and said they will let me know when they come in! Started with just one rear, then a DRL, then the other rear, and now all four! I will also get the build number for references on here!

It is only affecting the rear tails and front DRL's, headlights and fog lights are good still.... I will def. ask for the old ones and see what I can do with them
