Bill...methinks it could be coming from the driver side turn indicator bulb housing, I took a look today...beside that one usless clip gone, shes sealed up tight...

Meh...I'm gonna add clear bulbs to the turn indicator lights anyway...I'll check it then...

Thanks for the insights fellers

If those seals don't look too happy, put some vaseline on them. Plug them in, then smear a little more around the seal and back of the reflector housing. It'll repel the moisture for a good long time.

Jim, Remember what i said when I had water in the right lamp after washing it in the hanger? Thats when I got the air hose and blow dried it out. then i made sure the bulb socket was securely fastened. No more condensation.
