Hopefully thanks to the great experimenting that you and Sand has done on your lights, mine will be ok when done in two weeks. Have the rears experienced the same problems as well?Well, the light is split open, so needs resealing together. The wires to contol the DRLs have to go somewhere, they can't exit any stock location, there's a section in our lights that has some tape over it, which is where the US lights have a connector for their lights. As the wires connect to stock wiring harnesses, when they leave the light, you need to have an exit path. What was used was the US stock location (tape cut open) wires then come through the back and is sealed back up with butyl. (See previous post for issue with butyl in this scenario).
As The control unit moves around in the engine bay, even slightly it'll pull and move the butyl and can cause cracks, holes or bubbles in it, overtime it'll just keep causing more wet air to get in, the heat of the lights will kick them up and turn them into condensation, and hey presto, you have a waterfall in your lights.
At FFest (or if i see you before) i'll show you where the tape bit is on stock lights, just so it makes a bit more sense.
