I did a search but couldn't find anything. Has anyone else run into this problem before and how do you solve it.
I have accumulated some moisture in the RS light. The LS is fine. DO you just have to drill a small hole somewhere in it and let it dry out then seal up the hole?
Thanks in advance for any help.
 
The right tail-light was fogged up after a car wash. I looked at it and decided to do nothing and it cleared up on it's own after 2-3 weeks.
I haven't washed the car in the two months since so I don't know if it will be OK.
 
What I did

Same thing happened to me so this is what I did.

I too a small drill bit and drilled a hole every 2 inches along the very bottom of the lens all the way across. When looking at the tail light, you cannot see the holes and the holes give the inside of the lens a drain and a way for the air in their to dry. I did that 1 1/2 ago and haven't had any problems.

just my .02.....
 
You have got to be kidding me
If I was kidding, would I have said that?

Actually, I'll give you the answer: 98 threads
I did again, and found 11 this time. Must have done something wrong the first time. Under the forum of 'Technical' I only found 11 though.

You'll notice that I didn't just ask questions; after my experience I was quick to share detailed info with those having the same problem like that last thread. :)
 
After wash don't forget to open the rear bonnet and dry the area near the rear lamps. Its a good idea not to water jet the lamp area.;)
