If the condensation is inside your OEM tail-lights, you should be fine to just remove them and install the Tom's without the issue returning.

It seems like the condensation issue was caused by a faulty seal on the light unit itself, so once that unit is removed, the issue should not come back. Tom's seem to be sealed very well and do not have this issue.

I just removed my Tom's yesterday after 3 years on the car to replace with a different set, and I had zero condensation issues with them.

The tail-light swap takes all of 20 minutes max. Peel the carpet back, remove four 8mm bolts, detach harness, and remove the light. Do the reverse to install, and you're done. Takes no time at all.

With the Tom's, you have to replace the relay too, with the one supplied with your Tom's, but that doesn't take long either (it's near the fuse panel under the dash).

Good luck!
