A couple days ago, it was raining pretty hard - then I took my car to the carwash after the weather let up a little, now I have water in my tail lamps! I opened up the trunk and it all spilled out of the openings for the bulbs!

Anyone know if I should wait till all the water is evaporated, and then seal - or seal them now, and just let the heat burn off the excess water? Someone told me that if I sealed it up before letting it all dry, it'll stay in there because there's no place for the water to evaporate to (guess he was thinking I was creating a closed system type environment)...any suggestions? It's really bugging the heck out of me!

Go ahead and drain it anyways. If it does evaporate it can still leave water stains on the housing and that wont look good at all.

Stock schmock...I like my tails! Besides, for my year, stock doesn't do it for me. So what I did was paint the altezzas red and clear just like stock, but it still maintains the inner rings when the lights are on. I think it looks pretty good! But thanks for the suggestions all...keep 'em rolling in...

Same thing happened to me...I just drained mine out and then sealed them. No more problems
