Condensation in rear tail light (firebird) I've been having a slight condensation problem in my tail light.
The bulb gaskets behind it seems tight, so I used a sealer around the entire edge where the inner gasket is between the inner and outer part.
I still get the condensation although very minimal now.
I even blew air through the unit and could not find a leak?
The condensation collects on the clear back up lens (round), would this mean there is a leak on the lens and maybe I should glue around it ?
Not sure what else to do unless there is just some water left over that I didn't completely dry out? (gonna dry it out once more and see)
Any ides?

some tails just do that i had a newer caddy that did that and i took them off and got a tiny drill bit an drilled a few vent holes in the bottom corners and it stoped it. i dont know how your tail look on the inside but you can try that. most of the time its like steam that builds up and the little hole let some air in.

As an update:
I took the light off once more and blow dried it for a while. THis took out the last bit of remaining water. And now its been dry inside since. So just make sure all remaining water is gone when you re seal.
