[anna1984]

not so sure if theres a thread about this but i couldnt b bothered searching..

anyways just wondering those who have clear tail lights, does water go through when it rains or when you wash the car??

if so, wots the best option to go about on blocking the leakage?? silicone?

a lot of the aftermarket lights are cheap and companies sell them for a fair bit. so prolly just not sealed well.

put your standard ones back in... looks HEAPS better

through the actual lights or through into the boot?

put rubber seals or silicone mate

it should be fine if u put in the foam seal that were on the factory tail lights

i had leaks in mine. I drilled a small hole in an inconspicuous (spelling?) lol place to let the water that got in drain out, coz it sure as hell wouldnt go back through where it had leaked in, then i used clear silicon to seal the entire outside of the light. i packed it all right in so there were no blobs of silicon just sitting round, and it looks as if it were brand new.

Weird.. i've had no problems with my tail lights... Occassionaly I get afew little moisture drops around the edge.. but it dries up straight away... Where did you get your lights.. and how much did you pay if you dont mind me asking..

Mine were from some online site and were about $320 over a year ago..

water leaks into boot but it actually goes to the bottom wher my spare tyre is located so my boot doesnt get so saturated but the bottom does.. but its a bitch wen it constanly rains coz it tends to fill up.. i have 2 use the vacum at the car wash places to get all the water out lol

the "drill hole" idea is great..... all u have to do is drill a hole inside the boot...then get a hair dryer and heat the light from the outside/leave in sun....eventually with patience it all evaporates through the hole
