Drillout for temp fix
Water in the lens must be a common problem which I was unaware of until the dealer pointed
it out, it's out of warranty so I drilled a small hole in the bottom of the lens in the center and the water drained out lights have been fine since. I suppose if I do replace them I would rather get the clear from procarts.

I was affraid of that, but so far I have been lucky. It was actually raining for about the last past two weeks here in Hawaii and not a single light got fogged or filled with water. I definately was relieved. On the other hand, I did have another car that would have a condensation problem on the tailights, but I just used some weather sealant and resealed the lens and never had a problem again.

CK,
I took off the one side marker that was (nearly) filled with water. Seemed the bulb and socket were under water! You can see the picks in my How2 page. I looked at the lamp assembly and it was not apperaent there was a leaking seam. Good idea to apply some silicone sealant on the seams anyway! Perhaps I'll include that idea on my page. Many thanks.
