Moisture??

I found moisture in one of my corner lights after washing my car. Im not sure how it got in considering it has the seals and such. Any one know how to get it out or will it go away on its own?

you need to flush your turn signal fluid now that it's contaminated with water.

Look for a crack in the housing or around the seal. Also check if the bulbs are fully locked in. Its not normal for moisture to get in there, so there must be an opening somewhere.

condensation on the inside is very common with aftermarket corner lights, and assuming it isn't because of a big hole in the lens or housing, it can easily be fixed with some clear silicone. on my civic, every set of corner lenses i went through, before i mounted them i would always go over all the seams with clear silicone, and then check the bulb mount in the back. that usually takes care of any problems.
