Condensation In Lights
Has anyone ever experienced Condensation in the Front or Rear Lights? How do you fix the problem? One of my friends (Who is a mechanic), says I can drill a small hole in the bottom of the light, Do you think this could work?

The fix is to pull the light and put it in water holes down, look to see where the bubbles come from. sear with a thin bead of silastic. Fixed mine about 4 years ago, still good. All the best. Harvey.

Had the same problem..
Yep, do what harvey says.
I had the same problem on a 92 JDM. In fact the rear light cluster seal doesn't seem to do a marvellous job when it gets old. ALSO you may find the steel surface under the seal surface might be slightly too far towards the front of the car (hence not mating too well with the seal). Seems to be from the spot welding done during manufacture. Take off your old seals, tap that seal surface flat (with wooden block only) apply a wee bit of sliastic and put 'er all back together and not only will your lights not fog up but your boot will stay free of water!! (if you are unlucky enough to have that problem as well) Matt
