Aerodeckcivic Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 It's the seal on the inside at the back of the lense. It's like a rubbery foam and might not be lined up or have moss on it. Clean it and reseat it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop the light unit out dry them out and reseal Around the edges of them with RTV silicone and let them dry. You can even go extra and heat them cut the old sealant out clean with spirits and then reseal again 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fyfie5 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 hopefully that should be it fixed now, took the light out dried out the light and I think it was he rubbery foam seal around the light was causing the problem as it had so much dirt and crap clogged in it. dried it all out and cleaned it so should be good from now on, thanks guys! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
