Any water/condensation in any electrical component subjects that component to shorting out and causing problems.swampler said:I've noticed that both of the rear, lower lights in the bed of my RL have condensation/water on the inside of the lens. Is this something that needs to be fixed/addressed by Honda like a headlight or tail light would be?
Noticed this Saturday as well.Ridgehauler said:I have the same problem with one of the rear bed lights...
Any suggestions for a sealant that will come off easily for bulb replacement? It's a good 1/2 hour to the dealer, so I'd rather not have to go in if I didn't have to. That and the wife is already giving me a hard time about how often I have to get the truck worked on.Tex's Ridge said:If you don't reallly want to go back for a dealer fix, pop the lense and apply a small bead of clear silicone sealant all the way around and reinstall. This should fix it.
Silicone stays pliable. Easy to come off. If you go to home depot and ask them for the silicone sealant, they should be able to show you where they are. The common brand available is the Dow Corning RTV.swampler said:Any suggestions for a sealant that will come off easily for bulb replacement?

Had 1 replaced last month. Didn't have a cargo light in stock so dealer pulled a new RL and robbed 1 off it.swampler said:Just to update...I had Honda replace the lights. They wrote it up as having a leak in the seal.
Good move. Subaru had problems a while with a bunch of tail lights--said it was the vendor's fault that made them.swampler said:Just to update...I had Honda replace the lights. They wrote it up as having a leak in the seal.
I don't know if this is related to your light problem, but you might want to take a look at this thread, if you haven't already.swampler said:I've noticed that both of the rear, lower lights in the bed of my RL have condensation/water on the inside of the lens.
