I have the blackline DEPO LCI taillights and I'm getting condensation issues. I received replacement sets of these lights and I'm still having condensation issues, I do not think it's going away unfortunately, it goes and comes back
any input on this? These lights look great but theyre poor quality |

In other cars I have owned with aftermarket taillights with this issue, clear silicone around the lens where it meets the housing solved the problem |

For those with the condensation problems is with any type of non-oem head light or tail light is that they wont ever be near as good as OEM.
What i do whenever i get a replacement light for any vehicle, especially from ebay or anywhere else, i place a thick bead of silicone over the edge of the light. I also add a clear wrap over them or ceramic them. If you already have condensation, dry them up, and then seal them with silicone. |

I'm in the process of installing Depo LCI tail lights that I purchased off of USR. Great set of lights for the amount paid. However upon installation, I did notice the thicker insulation around the tail lights. It does have a bit of play if you firmly press on it which is concerning since part of the tail light does not sit flush against the body.
I'll go ahead and take SMiGGS advice above but I was wondering how your lights are holding up now, to those who have it. My main concern would be when washing the car and overall, heavy rain. Do you notice any deterioration on the insulator? *EDIT Tail lights installed. To those who are very particular, here is a photo of the the inner tail light not sitting flush against the body. |

I have been running the depo tail lights for more than a year now and have not had any condensation issues. I definitely agree with your comment that the surrounding material has some play to it and I even notice that this foam material gets wet when it rains but honestly I don't think too much into it as long as no condensation gets into the lights. Hope this helps!
