Water in rear lights

Hi all

Newbie here. Just notice after a wash that my tail light are filled with water.

Is this a fairly common problem?

Thanks

I dont think its a common problem. i havent heard of people having problems like this too often. Condensation is a different story though...

I'm sure you're still under Warranty--have the dealer replace them

A bit of the topic. I did a search and found that there are reported problems with LED flickering in the overhead console and the lights at the rear of the X.

Besides the LED's from Bavauto, is there any other recommendation that will not flicker ?
