moisture in my taillight

anyone else have this problem? -does it need resealed? |
I've heard that drilling a small hole in the housing to let the water/vapor out will help. Never had that problem myself.
|
are they ebay special tails? if so.. a lot of them do that.
drill a tiny hole near the bottom rear of the light.. also, grab some clear silicone and put a small bead to redo the whole seal around them. also you can rinse the inside of the tail with rubbing alcohol. it evaporates and doesnt leave a stain or residue ring behind it. |
bought them from matrix racing only about $125 .
-i will try drilling a hole, worst that could happen would be moisture in my tailight lol. -if that dont work ill try resealing the light and seal the hole i drilled |
ok i decided to try sealing them first.
-I took them off today (11/21/09) and turned them around until i found where the water was leaking from. (Go figure its in the top right corner where the water runoff is for the hatch). -I wiped the inside as dry as i could through the reverse light hole and let it sit in the sun to remove the remaining fog. -I then sealed the upper corner next to the hatch with clear rtv. -suppose to have heavy rain tonight and tomorrow here in Georgia so we'll see how well it holds up. -oh yea GO DAWGS!!! |
UPDATE its been a couple weeks, we've had two or three heavy rain storms and no fog in the tail lights. clear RTV is holding up nice <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (racecar13 @ Nov 21 2009, 11:27 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>-oh yea GO DAWGS!!!</div> they lost that week but beat GT the next. |
