Thread: Taillight Moisture solution. 00 gt 2dr

Other than buying aftermarket lens(oe is $125 a piece new), is there a near perfect solution to solve the moisture mystery? It's real bad on mine, to the point where my bulbs are affected.

Any input appreciated.

Bake them in the oven on low, till the glue gets melty, pull off the covers and re-seal with polyurethane, or you can go with something like Spyder Auto ALT-YD-PGP97-LED-SM Smoke LED Tail Light : Amazon.com : Automotive

They arn't too different and are alot better quality than stock.

Why bake in the oven? Isnt there a way to simply take the lens off, and slap some rtv on it?

no baking them just makes the glue separate easier so you can just pull the lenses off. drilling a hole is a horrible idea because it doesn't fix the original problem

I had an extra set of tail lights and I used a blow dryer on the outer part of the lens and it was working as I was prying it off until my the dryer blew up. I think a heat gun would work too maybe?

I have never worked on them before and tried heating one like others say. It's still sitting in my garage after the dryer blew up lol. I guess I learn something new everyday lol

drill a small hole or two in the bottom of the light to drain/vent moisture. done.

I did that to the head light on my Dakota and it worked great, I drilled one on each side for proper draining and ventilation.
