My girl friend bought a tib awhile and for christmas i got her some tail lights on ebay. The drivers side tail light is getting horibble condensation in there, to the point where the bottom corner of the tail light is filling with water. Anyone have any suggestion on how I could fix that? Thanks for the help

Take it apart, clean it out, and reseal it correctly.

^ I agree with hamhead. You need to reseal your tail lights.

Did you keep the foam piece that was attached to the stock tails?? That would help quite a bit with the water in the lamps. I know I had that problem at first until I realized i forgot to take that piece off and put it on.

Otherwise, take everyone elses advice and bake them at 375 for 5 mins and open them up. Clean 'em. And Re-Seal 'em.

I drilled 2 little tiny holes in mine to let some air in and dry it out. Worked just fine for me
