Tail Light Condensation
 
Hey Guys,

I washed the car today and I noticed in the driver side tail light some minor condensation, when i went out to take some crappy pictures it was gone... is there a way i can seal it so it doesn't get worse? or become a bigger problem... and is there a guide to do so... I might have read something before but I am not sure if it was on this site,

Thanks... and I will take a lot better pics tonight, i got a new camera and i want to try it out!

Just remove the light, takes an 11mm socket from inside the trunk, then apply some silicone around where the lens meets the basket all the way around, if you get it on the outside of the lens, try and get it off right away.

No, you won't likely see it, that's why you should do the whole perimeter, it's gonna be a pin-hole probably, that's why it's just a slight bit. I've had them where the light is half-full of water (standing water), with no sign of a hole, best way to locate the leak is to remove the light, fill it half with water and move the water throughout while watching for drips.
