View Full Version : Tail lights not sealed properly?
Hey all,
My friend pointed this out the other day - my tail lights don't seem to be sealed fully, and is letting moisture and condensation in...

Has anyone else had this issue? Its not normal, is it? Should I just talk to dealer?

Lots have had it. Most have just dealt with it.
I believe others have gone to the dealership for warranty tho.

Both gens have this problem. It takes me an extra half hr to get all the water out of my tail lights and head lights after I wash my car

I was pretty sure there were tiny vent holes in the rear lights.. no?
I've had a little bit of condensation in there before but it always disappears.

I know the rx8 was covered by warranty as ours got re sealed but they likely changed things once it was apparent across models
My passenger side tail light fills with water and my drivers side head light fills with water
mine happened after my warranty ended
Okay - will talk to the dealer and report back.

I had this issue with my headlights just 3 weeks ago. Took it in to Mazda and they replaced both lights for free under warranty.
Do you have warranty left?
Has anyone ever had an issue with one of the tail light bulbs staying on?

Not sure if this is related to the leak issue or not...
