After a hard rain i have noticed some water droplets inside the rear lighs on both sides located at the side edges far from the break bulbs.
Anyone with the same problem?

i fitted lexus style rear lights to my CC. a few months later and the rain came, then the icy weather.
i noticed one of my rear lights had a leak, as water had obviously got into the light casing and was sloshing around on the inside of the glass. the next day, the weather was so cold it froze.
i removed the light, and as you can't access the inside with a hairdryer (!) i left it by a radiator overnight to dry it out. i then used window sealant to seal the inside top of the light and the lens clip at the bottom, which seemed to be where the water had leaked in. once re-fitted, the light looks exactly the same, with the exception that now it doesn't leak. plus if i had to, the window sealant is easy to remove.
