    im looking for new original tail lights but i need them to come with rubber (because its leaking into my boot). is it possible to get brand new tail lights with rubber or do i need to buy it seperately?

    Cheers

    Do you mean the ones on the boot lid or the ones on the rear quarters?

    The rear quarter ones shouldn't leak as the bolts have rubber washers on them that clamp tight when installed and the cable goes thru a rubber grommet. The ones on the boot can leak bad as can the attaching points if you have a wing. I just removed the whole boot lid garnish/lights and Sikaflexed it back....extreme but it works. Water can also enter the boot via the rear quarter windows...very common and fix is remove and reseal with good old Sikaflex.

    i think i found my problem. water manages to get behind both tail lights and leaks through the housing wall and into the boot. any ideas on how to fix this and any ways to stop water getting behind the tail lights?

    Cheers
