Moisture in rear LED brake light?

Has anyone had this issue on a Dutch star??? Looks like they installed it upside down. Not sure if that makes any difference?

Most of these light fixtures are sealed -- so moisture "shouldn't" be able to get in. And because they're sealed, they're not repairable.

If you have some kind of warranty, replacement "should" be covered. If not, I'd just wait for the light to fail (which could be years), and then replace it.

My MA has similar looking brake light. I took mine apart.
It wasnt' really sealed all that well.
There were a couple of tabs to push on and the back came off.

I was able to remove the LED elements, clean and polish the lens and wire brush all the corrosion off the LED connections to the circuit board.

Temporary fix, but it is working for now.

Mine looks pretty much the same. That and the little LED strips under the headlights that I've had replaced twice don't all light up.
