Default Anyone having moisture intrusion morimoto taillights?

I just bought the morimoto tails and in 20 days with a couple heavy rain driving days, my taillights have water inside the lights.

Anyone else notice this? Seems the seals arent doing their job or qc sucks.
Waiting to hear back from Cole at Vette lights which is who I purchased from to see what he can do

I get some condensation in mine after a wash, but it dries up pretty quickly. No issues otherwise.

Phawk! Thanks for the warning. I'm going to pop mine out and ensure they are sealed like a **** before I wash it.

But constant water intrusion will corrode the electrical board or led overtime. But being brand new, no moisture should be in there. Ive got a puddle in the bottom of one, others have droplets ...not happy.

I would try to dry it out ASAP and if you can’t return it I would use GE silicone to seal any areas that look suspicious to you. Check the seams. I would call them up first and tell them your problem. Good luck.

No worries. According to one vendor they have a ten year warranty, and according to another they have a lifetime warranty.
