Its actually probably the seal to your 3rd brake light. this problem is very common. I tried sealing it with some silicone but didnt use enough apparently...I bought a new LED 3rd brake light online (mostly just because I wanted one, not due to the leak) and it had a thicker foam gasket on it and I havent had the leaking since

What's the best way to check where the leak is coming from? If it is the rear light, could I use this as an excuse to get a new LED brake light?
I have 1 for sale...its red/smoked LED...its nice but didn,t match my LED Tails...had to get a black one...New in the box $ 40 shipped. Let me know if your interested.
