    Hi my back passenger lights were steaming up so got another thinking the seal was perished. So put new one in 2 days later steamin up again. Ive just taken it out and noticed the light will not sit right and the bottom part of light is more or less touching the back bumper where as the other side has a gap around the bottom. The gap along the bottom of boot lid and bumper is the same. I noticed the gap at the side of the light where it meets back arch kit is the same as other side then it gradually gets smaller to the point where its touching top of bumper. Has anyone got an idea what this could be or had this problem before??. Only thing i can think is the back bumper has lifted a bit. Had a look seems ok though. Cant really be arsed taking back light out every week to dry it. Thinkin about wackin some silicon on it but want it sorted really. Cheers

    Forgot to say the car had morretes on when i got it. I didnt really like them so put standards on so must of been like that since i did it in summer. The previous owner must of been messing about with it somehow.

    Had a think and it might be the bumper or the holes where it screws into boot are bent maybe?. You can hold the light in place where its meant to be but as soon as ya tighten it the light pulls down to the bumper. Anyone know where all the bolts are for the back bumper just incase its that?. I saw the 4 under the lights is there any underneath?. Cheers.

    Is the boot seal fitted correctly?

    Yes i had to get another light as the connectors were coveresd in scale. Ive just had a look at the boot seal and its a good 5mm away from the light so cant be that. But ive sorted it sort of. I put a packer under it so its the same gap as other side. Cant even tell.
