Tail Lights Condensating
Tail Lights Condensating My 94 t/a tail lamps are taking in water from like a car wash or rainfall. It drys up inside when sitting in the sun. So I know there is air getting in/out. I need to know how to disassemble them so I can make a seal. Any thoughts.
Ive done this before on my 79 t/a tail lamps and a 3rd gen once but I cant figure out how the front lens pops off. Now water is not getting into where the bulbs are, it is in front of that plastic core part. Or Should I leave them till Dry and run a bead of rtv silicone all around??

7901 WS6 and I are speaking about a different, but related subject. Sounds like he wants to prevent it, I want to fix then prevent, since I have the discoloration.
i had the same problems my tail lights looked like fish tanks 
at night you could see the water slosh around when i turned corners
take them off and drill a small hole in the bottom of each section and put them back on it will allow them to drain and keep the condensation away

I going to take a look at them again this weekend and see if there is a way to dimantle them(without craking them) and find out how water is getting in. I think there may be some snaps or plastic clips that hold the lamps together. Also get some new rubber washers for the wiring harness bulbs.

i had the same problem with my tailights and foglights on my 99 t/a. after replacing the foglight assembly a couple times, my friend showed me the lights on his mercedes had a small hole in the bottom of the assembly to allow for water to drain out. i drilled small holes in each of the assemblies and havent had any problems with water collecting or blackening of the lens/dulling of the metallic reflecters. that was 2 years ago and the car is a daily driver, so it sees alot of rain.
