Damn good question

Is the condensation issue fixed on any new orders from Amazon, or are you replacing their light with another dysfunctional light?

I'm considering buying this from Amazon, but I live in Florida and the water damage worries me.

@MABETT any updates on this?

@MABETT ,
My right side light is now badly condensed.
How do I get a replacement that will be water tight?

There obviously is a seal problem in production that is happening. Whether it is on the front or back is the question. If it is the back, silicone sealant will fix it. If it is the front, silicone won't work and will look horrible.

Is there any documentation (pictures) of how and where the silicone sealant needs to be applied?

Replacements were ordered yesterday and arrived today (although I'm still at work).

Someone in here has done it but didn't take any pictures. I don't remember who it was.

I actually had to remove the foam padding behind to reveal some of the screws. Had to remove one of the clipthat’s blocking one of the screws.

once screws were undone, you can lift the black accent to reveal the clear housing. I noticed that the sides of this housing has some gaps, I ended up applying silicone all around it on both side marker lights.

I opted to add some silicone to where the 2 screws were passing thru the clear housing.

I bought this from Amazon:

As a replacement for the foam padding that I removed initially. A bit thicker but still works for me. Just had to cut it accordingly.

Unfortunately I didn’t took pictures of the process, I should’ve and shared it here.

It looks like the lense pops in the front. My hypothesis at the moment is the seal behind it might not be placed correctly. Maybe pop it out as silicon and put back.

I still haven’t tested mine yet as I’ve just installed it yesterday. But I’m hopeful that what I did would prevent condensation in the future.

Thank you @junyamada. I've ordered the foam you linked to. When I get home I'll examine the backs of the replacements to get a general idea of the sealant locations.

Pop it out from the front or the back?

He didn't just say that......................

It looks like it pops out the front, but I don't have one in front of me to look, the back just looks like one piece from the pictures I could find of it.
