Question leaky altezzas

I have RRM carbon fiber altezza tails. After a few days of rain, I got some condensation inside the clear lens. Has anyone else had this problem? Whats the best way to fix it?

ps I know some hate on altezzas, but the dark carbon fiber looks tight on black or thunder grey.

the chrome shiny altezzas...

you just have an air leak somewhere.. what i would do for an easy fix myself is get some waterproof cauk and seal it up anywhere you think air could leak in.. or call RRM and see if they've had this problem before and will replace them.

i haven't had any problems with the RRM Depot lights yet but you could use a blow dryer to remove the condensation. remove the bulbs and blow air into it or along the edge where the leak is. after the condensation is gone be sure to go over the leak with silicon to prevent future problems

with respect to rrm, i did buy these tails of ebay, maybe that was my first mistake. But they appear brand new and work fine.

someone at rrm said to seal with silicone I just hope they dont look bad...
