condensation in rear tail light.

Well... i guess our most recent storm was able to get in the nooks and crannies of my jdm rears...

How should I go about to get rid of condensation?

blow dry? oven bake? pop in some silicon dry packet?

Drying will not help in the long run until you fixed the cause.

Drill a 1/16" hole to let the h2o vapor out, drill it @ the rear of the light where the H2o is.

I wonder if the new car warranty will cover the fix.

Not if they're not stock. It says: "my jdm rears..."

Damprid should be coming in tomorrow.

I'll take the tail off and poke around to see what might be the point of entry for the condensation.

And here i thought jdm stuff was supposed to be quality build :P

Maybe the nuts weren't tight enough? That's all I could think of
