Default LED taillights from EBAY

I bought some led taillights from ebay about 6 months ago and when i washed my truck they would get a little bit of water in the lenses!! Has this happened to any of you guys? If so how did you fix it or what lights did you buy that dont do that

Sounds about the same with the headlights from eBay, just get some sealant from Lowes/Home Depot and be generous with it on the seams.. Should fix your problem, did this with my headlights..

Maybe some others can reply but I just grabbed clear, all purpose sealant/adhesive that was in a tube.. Search 'eBay headlights' and see what's out there as far as suggestions on what to use.. Good luck

What do you mean where the wires go into the taillights?

Any aftermarket light = requires resealing. They just don't take any care in completely sealing them up in production.
