Aqua Taillight Mod

Finally became one of the lucky ones to receive the aqua taillight mod from mother nature. Left the car outside over the weekend, woke up Sunday morning to wash it, and voila! 1 inch of water in the taillight and a shyt load of condensation.







Took it immediately to the dealership, they one look at it and ordered me a new taillight under warranty. Hopefully it will be here by the weekend!

My dealer just replaced both of mine. The service tech said the majority of these that get one replaced are back a week later for the other so he ordered both sides for me.


It's not the best practice to wash and wax the car in the sun.



It could be a Michael Jackson hat.

I remember, at the first sign of fogging I took mine in and hand both replaced.

Yo Dub,
It'd be really pimp if you threw some feeder comets in your tail lights!

Hmmm. I replaced one of my taillights when it got cracked in the fall with a used tail light. Now I have condensation in it. Think the dealer would notice it's a replacement? I think the defect is in the gasket behind it, not the taillight (though you would never get the water spots out so they replace it).

I was thinking something more along along the lines of
With some neon lights at night ....Seriously though, that sucks. I only keep my car outside like once a year.

you host it with a hosting service and then "[img]your picture[/img]"

if you right click on a picture that isnt attached, you can see where it is hosted under properties.
