Hello recently I upgraded to PFran led lights and all was good; I did notice that there was some some drip marks on the light casing. Well 3 months later the light is out and whe I checked it seems the bulb got wet and rusted etc. Well I did have a leak in the cargo area some time ago I sealed the top 3rd light (under spoiler on top) and that seemed to fix the interior. Any ideas where this water maybe getting in? I did not seal the chrome trim above the lights (weather here is snow and we are suppose to get 2 more in the next week). Could it be possibly from the window itself??? any ideas would be appreciated. the vehicle has never been crashed its a 2006 LX470

actually if you notice the rear hatch latch bolts are rusted; anyone in the rust belt area have this type of rust or could this be from the inside leak also???
 
bolts on the camera are not rusted so I think those rusted bolts are a seperate issue
