When I drove the kj back from ny I laid down my roof lights. Big help on mileage. Anyways I didn't put them back up for a while and they filled up with water when it rained. I did not have the covers on them when they were laid down. Being that all 4 had the same problem I would say that It is part of the design. I guess this is kinda a warning more so than a question.

I half expected to see a minnow in there :P Drained them out and left the bulbs out so they would dry for a couple of days, put everything back together and they worked just fine.
