Moisture in '12 Light Replacement
I posted this question in other Threads - I thought would be applicable - but didn't get a response.
Had the '12 lights put in as part of my TSB on my '11.
One light (driver side) - had tons of moisture (water) in it after a wash. It did dry/evaporate when left in the sun.
Dealer looked at it - tried to see if gaskets (?) where in correctly - they said they were. Washed, again moisture back. Good news - dealer acknowledges issue and is putting another light in on Tuesday.
I think they think it is a bad light.
Question is - I have read others have had this issue with '12 light install from TSB. Do folks know if this is an install issue or is a light housing (defect) issue.
The moisture is inside the lights glass (running down the glass) not inside the light (on the bulb).
Would just like to know more before I go back on Tuesday. I like at least sounding like I know what I am talking about
Thanks
