Following a AU fitted with the imported clear lights. As he braked I noticed one of the brake lights was out and both of the lights had water splashing around in them.Just wondering how long these lights are going to last as some sell their orignal ones of.

My aftermarket "ricer" lights don't get any water in them at all - the original AU1s did, so too did the AU2s I had on my other car. Must just depend on how good the sealant is - regardless of whether they are OEM or aftermarket.

On that topic I just ordered some Shadow Chrome ones for my car through the AU Falcon special offer section. Hopefully they'll be at my place early next week.
As for my crappy series 1 ones, I've never had any water collect in them.
