If your car is still under warranty, then that is covered.

Clear or stock lenses, some guys have drilled a small weep hole in the bottom of the lense to allow water to escape.

I have the clear lenses on my camaro. I have the same problem, My lenses fill up with like 1/8th of an inch of water!! Is there any other way to seal those lenses up instead of drilling a hole in the bottom of them?

ive had several sets of clear lens over the years (euro and normal clear). i notice in some cases that the daytime running lights since they stay on bright mode during the day would actully melt the plastic at the top right around where it would screw in. allowing moisture to come in.the car i have now is not driven daily or for long periods on end so i dont have the problem anymore.but u could get L.E.D.s ( www.jamstrait.com they dont put off a fraction of the heat,in the frount sigs,but they are not very bright since they face down and u also need a relay or they wont flash. but i highly recommend them in every other light, well worth the paper. or u could just disable the DRLs . if heat is not the problem then its the seal. u could just use a little clear silcone around where they mold together. hope this helps. www.speedoptions.com/profiles/driverview.php?id=36258

To tell you the truth guys I think I'd just get some new lenses from www.pacificie.com , I've never heard of anyone having a problem with them. Do check to make sure that you have the foam gaskets on both the corner and turn signal sockets.
