Black Euro Tail light Condensation
 
I just ordered a set of black Euro tail lights for my V6, and I am having trouble with water condensation in my passenger side tail light...BAD. I installed these a couple weeks ago and have had no problems up until just a few days ago, naturally..after a rainy day, and through the car wash. Now almost the whole tail light is fogged up on the inside - not good for the bulbs! I know the website recommends sealing them with RTV sealant to prevent this, which I bought specifically for... but I don't understand. If I do seal them, how is that going to work if I decide to switch back to my regular tail lights again? Isn't this the same as "gluing" them on?....

Can somebody please give me some instruction on this? I'm confused.

Thanks!

If those dont help, id recomend pulling off the light completely and pulling out the bulbs and just letting it dry in the sun a day or two if possible, then putting it back together and silicone sealing the outside edges and around the base of the bulbs.

It is not like gluing them onto your car when you seal them. You seal the taillight housing along its seams where air or moisture might get in.

Just as a heads up... you will be changing back to your factory ones very quickly if you cave in to pressure.

aint that the truth, your balls will be busted everytime someone on this forum sees them or hears about them. i have a set of smoked alteezza's on mine and i have taken crap for them so many times. i got mine from ebay and never have had any condensation get into mine.

and for all you haters out there, im gettin my stocks smoked this week so i will probably be switching over to the smoked stocks after i get them back next week.

No... not many of us appreciate the aftermarket taillights. But do as you please if you like the lights, im not holding you back.:cool:

And hopefully we gave you a little insight Whitepony, we like to help!
