Default help.. TYC Tail light problem... updated..

I wanted to know if anyone else has this problem. Every time i go thru a touch less carwash, one of my TYC tail lights gets water in it, then it looks’ fogged up. The dealer said that they aren't sealed lights, and should have vents, but what i don't understand it it's only one tail light. My other tail light is fine. I don't know what to do, could some one please give advice?

after taking the car to 3 dealerships, the toyota body shop manager finally agreed that there must have been a defect, and they finally ordered me a new set. I'm so glad that i delt with the manager just so i didn't have to hear " I'll have to check with my manager and get back to you" ugh! so if you are getting water in the light, it should clear up in a day or 2, otherwise, bring it back in until they give you a new set.

I have the tyc light and I havent ever had that problem. They should give you a new light. No stock light should ever have that problem. I would tell them to give you a new set. You have warranty still?

Get new lights. That shouldn't be happening. My TYCs are problem-free.

When I first got my car, after they installed the tyc tails, that happened to one of mine so I took it in and they replaced the tail light. It seemed like it was kind of loose. I haven't had any problems since. That was 7 months ago.

Yeah, knock on wood. I just noticed about two hours ago my right TYC has condensation in it. I believe it has something to do with the weather going from normal to super cold. I don't know. I'm going to have to do the silicone thing. I hope that works. I didn't get mine installed at the dealership, so I'm kind of screwed with getting a replacement.

God damnit.
