Ok so i was getting condensation in my old left rear light, eventually it was like a pool and fried most of the LED's, so i bought a replacement light. within 2 days the new one is doing the same. i have no problem with the right hand light only ever the left.
after doing a quick search i found the solutions for drill a hole check the seals etc, but does anybody have any idea what the cause could be?

i think its normaly down to the seal between the unit and lense. could try putting some clear silicon round the seal.

Tape a bag of silica gel to the back of the light as well to absorb the moisture.
