rp, mine fogged up also, the only thing that worked for me was I used silicon and sealed up the outside really well, and in the winter, I change back to the OEM lights just because of the poor manufacturing and they are very expensive, if you are buying them a lot. I would say take them out for the winter, i guess that only applies for the northern regions, but definatily use silicon and reseal the lights, don't take them apart though, they are too easy to break. hope this helped.

take the lights off

use a hair dryer to dry up the fog on the lenses, do this bye pointing it into the bulb holes

once the fog is all gone, use CLEAR silicone to seal up the edges....

again i stress use CLEAR silicone, someone else i knew used something else and it dryed yellos....looked like ship!


good luck

There are some little nylon plugs that go into the fender wells underneath where the tail lights fit. Make sure those are in place. If one or more is missing, you'll get moisture to the inside of the tunk and fog the lights. If you don't have a plug, fill the holes with silicone. You should be able to see these holes/plugs by removing the tal lights and looking down into the area where the bottom/front of the light housing fits.

Silicon is like sand.
