Default Tail Light Separation?

I was wondering if anyone has ever had this problem and had a solution other than replacing them. My tail light has spots where they're supposed to be black but instead are clear? I think it's separating from the back of the light.




You can see it best on the drivers side light up towards the top.
Any ideas?

I dont know if this helps, but i had to seperate mine to repaint the inside (ls1 style), then i had to glue them together. maye if you seperate them, and reglue them with some sealant, the spots will be gone? search on here, i have a thread with my write up.

Yeah, mine were pretty bad. I replaced them a couple of years ago.

I think replacing them would save you from headaches

No, contact Brent Franker (google his name and email him on his site) - he can make the vinyl pattern that allows you to repaint the grid on your taillights. PM me if you need help

Tail lights are not cheap, I'd rather repair them
