How do i repair the tail lights? Beacause i'm starting to notice like water inside of my tail lights and condensation. Is there like a gasket or something i should replace? Or probably use some sort of sealant huh!?

You can drill a tiny whole in the bottom of it. That should do the trick.

the lenses are held to the housings with butyl tape, you could try seperating them with a heat gun being carefull not to melt or burn anything, cleaning all the old tape, and applying new butyl tape.



glass/windshield shops have the tape



FTP lenses have a vent and they still condensate now and then
