serious help with gen 2 projectors!

ok i purchased a set of halo projectors june 11th and the second time i washed my car water got into the lense so i thought that it was me just not putting the rubber fitting on right when i installed so i took the light out then fixed the rubber fitting and went to turn my lights on and one of the halos will work for 3 seconds after i turn them on but then they cut off and the one on the outside dont even turn on.

If you bought them from K2 motors then phone them up and get advise or ask for a new set. Obviously one lens isn't sealed if it leaks water all the time. It's going to have to come apart and get resealed. But if they are new just return them. I bought my taillights from K2 Motors and they were good people to deal with. I've got gen3's and absolutley love em. Except i wish the halos were brighter haha

this happened to me once before. I showed my buddy who repairs halos and he said that their power source was probably getting wet. Not sure though. It never happened after I showed him. They're the nicest projos IMO, but yeah, aiming is a beyotch with these ****'s
