This shows in two ways:-
  1. Occasionally on applying the brake we get a Brake Light Blown fault.
  2. Looking closely at the rear offside lights when locking/unlocking the tail light LEDs on both units flash very dimly for a few seconds.
Taking the offending light unit out, drying it thoroughly resolves the problem until a jetwash hits it, or some very heavy rain. I have vaselined the rubber seal but I think the main problem is the cracks in the reverse light lens area. I was hoping that the dual plastic there would stop water getting in, but maybe not.
I'll have to find time to have another go at it.
My reverse lights are suffering with condensation too. Why only the reverse lights section
