    Front Marker

    I have no idea how water is accumulating in the driver side turn signal howsing. I removed it for inspection and nothing seems cracked or broken. Any ideas or suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Julio

    Everything is sealed as it came from the assembly line. I even tried to take it apart and reseal it, but there was no need for that, as it is tight on all sides.

    It is very weird but water still gets in. I think my VX is haunted!

    Has the yellow lens from your signals ever been removed for bulb changes or anything else? There are 2 little square notches cut on the bottoms of each lens. I would assume that one purpose for these cuts is to allow water and/or mositure to drain out of the housing. Is is possible that your lens are on upside down? I know that there's a "top" indicator on the lens and they don't fit on the proper housing if upside down, but if the left lens is upside down on the right housing and the right on the left, they will fit and the drain notches will be pointing upwards (basically allowing even more water/mositure into the housing).

    JUST A THOUGHT

    But yeah, the white rubber gasket missing from between the lens and housing would be the most common cause.

    Is there a vent tube on the backside? It should face down.

    Try removing it, draining it tape off all visible openings and then submerse it it a bucket, watch for bubbles. If you can't find the leak then drain it and let it sit in the house for a week to dry it completely. Reinstall it and if it accumulates water again replace with new.
