Condensation in Lights



Has anyone experienced a collection of condensation within their lights?
During the summer I get condensation in my right Tail light signal area, and during the winter I get condensation in the headlights. Talk about pain in the a**!!!

Has anyone had this problem and has the dealer fixed this problem for free? Cause one of my friends has a 96 Mitsubishi Eclipse and he had the same problem with his headlights and the Dealership replaced them both for free.

Yes, I do have some condensation problems on my car:
- front-left clear signal casing
- rear-right turn signal casing

Does anybody know if I can put somekind of a sealant or a silicone type of sealing? How can I fix it without changing the whole casing?

Thanks

Hey there, I had that problem too.. i took my car down to a friends shop. We took off tail lights. What we found 1st was lots of water in the tail. He had to use a air sucker or blower to take out all the water in the tail light. I was amazed how much water was in there, because i kept on hearing water moving everytime i drive my car (stop go stop go) splish splash slish splash...

After cleaning it all we found out the problem was basically the seal... we just resealed it and ever since then no problem.....

Mine was basically the seal around the tail lights.... hopfully that helps... what sucks is that my friend broke all the plastic things that holds up the interior in my trunk... u know those cheesy plastic things...
