    water in DS taillight

    I have water that collects in my left side tail light (DS) in one of the bulb housings. I swapped out the tail light gaskets. What can I do to fix this short of buying new tail lights?

    Mine does this too, in the passenger side blinker housing. No clue how to fix it though.

      you can't do much of anything really. once they leak, the reflectors corrode, and you can't take the lights apart to paint them silver or anything. buy new ones or buy used ones.

          I had a corroded blinker housing due to leaking, and I was able to get a pretty good, used replacement from user MoBrighta. his name is Andy, send him a PM. very personable, and he actually has a bit of a business selling all kinds of lights and lighting upgrades.

            Drill a 1/16" drain hole in the bottom of the lens. Free for now.
