This is also what's needed to use them on a Gran Coupe, in case anyone is interested. I may have to get another set for the GC

Has anyone experience condensation in the inner tail lights ? Recently I just got some condensation, I think its because when i first installed it it wasnt sitted properly and water got in after a car wash. So I took it out and heat gun it and then put it back on and made sure it was sitting correctly. The condensation went away but came back after 10 minutes. So i tried to put some sealant in the 2 little holes at the back of the light, but the condensation would always come back.

Any thoughts ? Driving me nuts

Yeah, it happened when I first mounted. I just tightened the fasteners a bit more especially if car sat in sun. (Now, you might want to consider removing sealant you applied?) good luck!

I got the sealant out haha. Didnt know those were "breath holes". As for condensation, it got better today. Only the outer part has some fog. Maybe needs more time for the moisture to evaporate? Did u ever got condensation again after u tighten it ? Cause I know for a fact that the light is sitting correctly

All good after tightening. Again, car was warm in sun. Fixed it 100%. Just don’t over do it. Good luck.
