I have the same issue with my set, I bought from the local autobarn. It was more so condensation building up when left on the street over night. I thought I had fixed the problem, was there were a number of gaps allowing water to get in, using some silicone, but apparently I havnt.

Are you talking about these?



If you are, then there's not much you can do... They fill up with condensation because they aren't sealed along the outside of the lights, the lights are sealed around the circles. You could run silicone along the outside, but as the guy above said, it's a pain in the **** to get it done 100%... Mine always drains quick, I just persevere with mine.

Yeah Iv got the same lights in Chrome, most of the time its usually around the outside corner. Due to it being Chrome it hides most of it.
