No, I've never had that problem. I would say the seal on your sidemarkers is busted, so I'd get a new set. They are sealed from the factory, so there should be no issues at all.

I wonder if they are genuine JDM, or just modified USDM ?

Well I guess not technically, but the condensation gives the impression that they are not sealed properly. If this is the case, one reason could be that somebody opened them up, modified them and didn't properly re-seal them.

I would be angry if I thought I paid for a genuine JDM product only to find out that somebody has sold me a modified USDM instead.

Keep in mind if you bought your side markers from rick's, they are not JDM, at least not anymore.

Now are these "true JDM" as in the ones they actually use on cars in Japan, or did you get them from rick's???

Humm...not true JDM from what I am reading. Guess this would be the issue, almost daily rain in South Florida plus not sealed non JDM side markers=small fish tank side markers

Mine are fine. I have "true JDM" sidemarkers personally.

AJ-R has them for a good price.
