All but one of my lights has condensation in them. Is this common? How do you get it out and keep it from happening? My tail lights are the clear aftermarket type, and my front passenger light is stock but has water in it. The only clean light is the driver side light. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If there is a small crack in it somewhere then it will do that. It wont really hurt anything but it does look like shit. You can get another light or what I did on my Laser was get a small drill bit and drill a tiny hole at the bottom of the light. It will let all that water out.

I knew my car was going to sit for awhile when I did this, but my rear passanger light had water in it, and when it was really hot out, I took out all the bulbs, and the water evaporated out (it had so much you could see it slosh). If there is only a little it could work in a day or two. When it was clear, I used black silicone around the whole lamp, and used clear at the top under the hatch. 3 months and a hella lotta rain later and still no water.

Another option is to take out the lights, use a hair dryer / de-humidifier to remove any water, then seal it up.
