Default LED Tail light condensation Problem

Hello Everyone, my names Cody i am relatively new to the forum. I bought some custom tail lights off of ebay and installed them, which was an easy install. The next day i went and looked at them and seen condensation on the inside of the tail lights.

heres a link to the lights
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2006-...spagenameZWDVW

I was wondering if anyone else on here had this issue and knew how to fix the problem.
I would like to get it fixed soon, im worried that it will short out the lights.
Thank you, Any advice would be great!

there must be a crack in there to let in moisture. either find it and fix it or take back the lights. **** just take back the lights!

I contacted the seller of the lights today and told me it wasnt a big deal, and that its because of temperature change, and almost all of the tail lights they sell do the same. i dont know if i believe this, i think its more logically air getting in the tail light, can ne body have ne suggestions on how i could fix it, rather than replace it?

I had some what the same problem with my headlights and it is from the lense not sealing to the housing so i got some black silicone and went around the spot where the lense and the housing meet and the problem went away.


As for the temp change thing the seller said yeah it would make sense but that is only possible if there is allready moisture in the light itself.

mine get a little condensation too. no big deal, it goes away as soon as it warms up. as long as you're not getting a ton of moisture in there, to the point where water is setting in them, you'll be fine.

Basically the person you bought it from, said yes, they are all cheaply made and I have no intentions of making things right with you.

hopefully the silicone works for you though
