Water in my back lights....what to do?
Ever since I bought my TL there has been water in my back lights. I don't know. Every time it rains or something, seem like water is leaking into my back lights and then there is moisture that arises and makes my lights looks nasty. Anything like this happen to you guys or just me?

oh yeah about that what to do =P maybe you can go buy some silicone and make sure the seals are all water tight, check the bulbs too to see if water is seeping in from the connectors.

I have noticed a similar problem. Not condensation in my lights though. I have found moisture in my trunk near my lights as if when I wash the car or it rains in gets inside the trunk by the lights. Its nothing too severe but I hope it doesnt. My weather stripping looks fine and I cant seem to figure out how water is getting in. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks in advance for your responses.

hmmm well i do have moisture problems IN my trunk, but not in the tails. i've found water where the spare tire is located even though the felt thing that lines the trunk seems to be fine. Anyone have any idea what's causing this? i hate to think about the rust problem that comes along with water damage.

I was wondering if anyone got it fixed about the leaking in the back. I had my fixed. No more water in my trunk and in the lights. It was due to the seal. Take your lights out and you will find that water leaks from there and goes to trunk as well. I don't know why, but it happens.
