One of my reverse lights is all fogged up assuming it's condensation on my '98 T/A. How can I fix this??

Well, at least I'm not alone, but it's bugging the crap outta me. Hopefully it's an easy fix.

Yup. Passenger side on my '98 TA.

One of my friends has the same problem on his 01 TA. He has tried numerous things to stop it. The only thing that worked for him was leaving the bulb out, doing that made it stop.

i also have heard about people drilling a very very small hole in the outer plastic that will release all the moisture... or people have also taken their turn signals out and put them in the oven and bake them at a very low temperature... i would get a confirmation and directions on how to do either of these, but those are two of the fixes i have heard of

my buddy had that problem and we drilled two small holes on the bottom of the inside of the light housing, its ussually fine but if he parks on grass or something over night then its filled up again, but it goes away after a few hours

I had that issue a while back as well on a 98 TA, every few days (rain or not) I could take off my taillight and dump about a pint of water out of it. I tried the whole "baking" thing but ended up cracking the plastic trying to separate the pieces. Only way I solved it was to just buy another taillight.

Quick fix is to remove the bulb/holder, just unscrew it and let it hang, so the moisture can escape and not fog up your light but you'll still have reverse lights. Next I would drill the small holes so the water can escape.

Once I noticed the condensation it was too late, the light already started to darken.

Same here. I noticed a small pin hole on the outside. My idea is to take the bulb out, get a air hose and air all the condensation out, and use super glue to cover the hole after its dried.

Not to bump a thread from the dead, but I'm having this issue as well. 97 Formula, I sold my LT1 style tails and put in a set of really nice LS1 tails. The LT1's never leaked, but the passenger's side on these does. I dried it all out, put clear silicon around the bulb housing and have the condensation again. Really annoying.

like already said just drill a small hole somewhere on the bottom side so that the water can drain...mine did it on both my taillights and turn signals up front....i went thru 4 turn signal housings before saying screw it and drilled some holes after seeing my friend's mercedes had drain holes in theirs.
No problems since.

Did the drilling a while back and no more condensation. It's filthy on the reflective surface through as a result of the moisture and I don't think it can be cleaned =x

Well, I don't know how nice it will stay, but I had my tails out to do the sequential tails mod and was able to take a cotton towel, rip it in 1/4's and sort of swoosh it around with a screwdriver.

Stayed nice until the condensation came back
