Water in tail lights
Hey guys I got aftermarket type-s tail lights for Christmas. Once I put them in I washed my car and noticed water in them so I got clear silicon and siliconed both of them and put them back in thinking that it would fix the problem. Well it rained yesterday and today there wasn't a lot of water in it just some due on the lens of one. There is barely any room for more silicon to go on them so is there anything else that I can do? Any advice I can have?

But that won't fix the problem. After they air dry it will rain again and the same thing will happen.

Buy new gaskets for the tail lights, if you're currently using the ones on your old tail lights on the new ones.
