Condensation in tail lights
 
I have condensation in my tail lights. Is there an easy way to get rid of it? I thought of drilling a small hole, but does that really help it?

Has anyone else does this or have this problem?

Thanks

been discussed many times, do a search.

some have drilled a hole, many replace the gaskets

This may be a good maintenance item for a meet that I discussed in the other thread about a looking for a local shop. :) I have fixed that problem with new gaskets, but do not tighten them too much or they will leak again. :)

Ditto. Both have had condensation. Both were cured with new gaskets.

Ditto ditto. ;)

In my opinion it is definitely worth the money buy new gaskets rather than drilling holes in those very expensive tail lights. I'm not 100% sure since I haven't done it, but I think drilling holes just allows the condensation to go away quicker after each occurence, but it doesn't stop it from forming completely.
