You would think that when they make something that allows the whole trunk to fill with water they would fix it..... My entire trunk is soaked bc the water goes under the vanity guard... And through the holes in the frame .. Water is getting in the tails through the big red brake light hole....to me this seems like a manufacturer screw up.

Collect a couple silica gel packets from shoeboxes etc. and tape them onto the end of a piece of coathanger. stick it into one of the holes for the bulbs and leave it for a bit. It'll dry it right out.

Cheers

Thanks again Chris for stopping by this weekend. So far, no foggy lamps.

You're not alone in that. I was getting frustrated that my Colin tails weren't working at first and I didn't have it plugged in.

A handful of rainy days and a few cold morning and so far my tails are dry as a bone!

Thanks you very much for the gaskets.

No problem, glad to help.

WELL.

It didn't work.

My driver side tail has lots of water, the right gets it sometimes.

I did the thicker gaskets, even did the adhesive all around the DIY said.

I'll check the sealing again, but it was perfect when i put it in...

Make sure you didn't overtighten and crack the housing when you reinstalled the lights.

I doubled up the adhesive, now its nice a thick.
