condensation I am getting some condensation in my passenger reverse light lens. I am wondering, is it the seal that the bulb makes with the lens or is it the lens itself that allows the moisture in. Also can the reverse light lens be replaced on it`s own?

the lense cant be replaced on its own. i also have the same prob but on the driver side. ive put a thicker gasket. plus some sealent and it still get cond in it. im thinkin mine might be the seal on the lense. but i havent really checked at all yet. im thinkin about drillin a couple tiny holes to let air circulate thru

It is the lens itself. Had the same prob so I went around each lens from the outside with glue (super glue), sanded them with very light abrassive sand paper and could have cleared the whole lens but I sprayed my turn signal and reverse lights translucent red and then cleared the whole lens. This did take some time but the result was very nice and have not seen condensation since I did this a year ago.I know the clear is what sealed them and done right they shine quite nicely.

I had this problem on my passengr side taillight, and my dad came up with a pretty easy fix.
Just take the taillight assembly out and drill a couple holes in the bottom, black, plastic part. I drilled three 1/4 inch holes, and the problem was solved. No condensation since I did that a year ago. You cant tell the holes are there.
