Default water in the turn signal assembly

Ok so i have aftermarket turn signal assemblys, i put both of them in and went through the car wash. The driver side is fine, while the passenger side fills with water and of course condensates. This is like second turn signal assembly i went through. Is it possible that they were built bad? maybe a crack? If anyone can reccomend a place that sells better ones let me know. Thanks.

Take it out, empty the water, let it air out, and put some sealant around the edges.

Old trick. Drill a 1/16" hole through the very bottom of the lens. This will let the condensation drain out, while the hole is too small to let water water in, unless you go in water deep enough to reach the hole.

anytime that happens there has to be a leak somewhere. (or it wouldent happen)

i would make sure the bulb socket is all the way in. with a good seal. and put some clear silicone sealent around the edges.
