Genuine 99 Spec Tails Condensing
My passenger side tail light started to fog up on both corners. Their must be a leak in it somewhere. I know I've read use silicone by taking the tail light apart but these are genuine 99 spec and I really don't want to do that. Any suggestions on how to go about this?

I've heard of drilling a small hole in the base of the light to allow the moist air out. But I doubt you want to do that in this case.
I don't see why you couldn't drill a small hole in the back side of the lenses where it can't be noticed.
take them out and let them dry out inside and then around the seam put some black silicone and it should be fine

yea but make sure there is definatley no water in there before you seal it.. i did it to fogs once and the water was in there for a long time after that.. use a hair dryer to get the water out

I doubt it, not in 24 hours. The leak is probably small enough that there really isn't enough room for substantial airflow to allow the moisture out.

oh ya i guess i forgot to mention it. The condensation is not visible after I get done driving or when I get home and have it in the garage over night.
So I think I can get the condensation out then hot gun it for a short while. Then seal the seams with silicone.
Electrical tape? Don't think this will stop the condensation. The leak is probably very small and tape won't seal it good enough.
