you could try this, arguably nothing to lose as worst case is you end up needing a new light, which you do anyway!

One of mine has gone too and one of the techs that works for me is prepared to give the procedure a go.

This is a very common fault.
There is loads of topics on this on the forum.
You have 3 options -
1 - You remove and replace the units, (you should be able to sell the old ones to recoup some money)
2- You remove the lights then separate the lens from the unit by placing it in an oven, there is a great topic about this.
3 - You take it to Fisher performance to have the sequential mod done.
I don't use my car as a daily drive, it is kept dry in a garage and only comes out when it's dry, I'm also careful I don't use water near the front and rear light when I wash it. They are all condensation free.
Good luck

Basically, Yes.
It never goes out if it's wet or going to rain, plus i'm very careful that i don't use water near the light units when washing it.
I've had a DB9 before my current one and I made the big mistake of driving it in the rain, once the condensation gets in it's very difficult to get it all out.
These cars are made to drive in the wet, but the front and rear light units have been poorly manufactured so they let in the water, then your f

You can't prevent them from getting wet. The water runs down along the rear hatch and onto the tail lights. And drains out behind them. It never goes out if it's wet or going to rain, plus i'm very careful that i don't use water near the light units when washing it.
