Trying to get inspection was told sealed third brake light has water in light causing failure of light to function as required by law. How does a sealed led light get water in it. Cost will exceed well over $700. For a part that will fail again after seeing other complaints. This could result in a serious accident with brake light failure! I have va state police rejection sticker about 3rd light failure
