when I picked up mu new cx-7 gt, everything was fine until the next day it down poured, and I noticed the following day while i was washing it, that there were water marks on the drivers headlight cluster, I thought it was on the outside, but when I tried to wash it off, it would not. I then realized that it was on the inside of the headlight cluster, so I took it in and they have to replace it. Did any one else have this problem. By the way I still think its the best car I owned so far.

When the RX-8s first came out they had problems with the tail lights fogging over with condensation and at worst water in the tail light. Not a big problem. I didn't have any more problems once they replaced mine.

I haven't noticed water or condensation inside the headlights or tailights yet, but yesterday I noticed a dead bug inside the silvery reflective part on the inside of the taillight (where it wraps around to the side of the car).\ - EWWww. Any ideas on how to get him out? And if a bug can get in, it's only a matter of time before water comes in too, no?

Remove it from the car
Compressed Air or a Vac in one hole. Litte sucker will blow out..

Where do I put the vacuum? I'm not sure how the bug got into the taillight. There's no visible hole for him. Can I get into that silvery area (it's not actually the area where the bulbs are) from inside?

I wonder if these lights have vents/drains like some other oem headlights...If so that could be where he got in.
