I woke up early this morning to go and wash my car today.After washing it I took the rear blackout's off to wash the light's and saw that the light's had melted . And keep in mind that I keep my car in the garage and it is not a daily driver. It does not spend much time in the sun either. I guess I will be looking for some new rearlight's maybe some Altezza's .

 

I have had both a 95 & 98 camaro and both of the cars did it with the covers. I am sure it is a common occurance. I have the Carbonfiber look blackouts (50% black/ 50%clear) and it still did it. The only way to eliminate it from hapening is to get blackouts with slots, holes, or word or # pattern in them to vent the heat

 

Well I tried blackouts before and the damn cops kept giving me sooo much **** about them that I sold them

 

Camaro right?
How come only Camaros have this problem?

 

happened to both of my camaros

 

Mine looks just like that and from what I know it's never had blackouts. What gives?

 

Sorry to hear your lights got messed up. I do find it kind of hard to see the brake lights on cars with those blackouts. I guess you wouldn't want me to be following you then....

 

Gert a pin vide, and drill one or two small holes in the housing. That clears up any heat problems with your lights. Drill them in the trunk side though. That will avoid water leakage.

 

I plan on getting a set off ebay or a junk yard.

 

iv had black outs on my TA for a year now and they havent melted yet.. i'll keep a eye on that.. im sorry to hear about urs tho! that really blows!

 

It might happen on the camaro tail lights and not the TA's light's. Or I might be wrong.

 

I've got tail light covers and no meltage, but I have seen other camaro's w/ NO light covers and they had those same melted spots, maybe your bulb is mad hot?, weird

 

It was from the blackout's attracting heat and causing the lights to melt. I don't think it is the bulb.
