Default One dark tail light

Not sure why it happened but I have one dark tail light on my 98 TA, I tried cleaning, swapped all the bulbs and nothing helped. I'm guessing the reflective coating inside the light went bad.. Suggestions?

I figured it had to be something like that, you can see that the reverse light has some water inside of it.. got any idea's on where to get a replacement one.. I checked out the junk yard near me they didn't have a single F-body there

your going to hate this but the dealer is going to be the only place to get them new, or you could hit up the parts for sale/ parts wanted sections and see if anyone is parting out their bird.

arggg! thanks for the help. I've had nothing problems with the lights on this car.. The turning signals in the front are the biggest PITA, They only work half the time. The harness for the lights are all corroded .. tried some battery cleaner did nothing.. bleh
