My Stealth had that problem with one of the lights, but I was the original owner and there were no accidents with the car. They replaced everything under warranty. The accident seems to be a way out for them and that may be quite legitimate depending on where the original damage was.

 

Check the classifieds, there is usually sets for sale for around $150.

+1 I bought a set for $150 shipped so I could paint the inside black.

 

i can see the accident being responsible for the back right tail light but not every single light on the car, although the back right is the worst of them all.

 

i have a set for sale 150$ + shipping

 

How bad is the condensation? Are we talking about fogging or actual liquid build up? You can throw in a couple of silica gel packets if the condensation is light. (silica gel packets absorb moisture and condensation) I threw in a couple packets inside each headlight when I did my HID install. Haven't seen a bit of condensation or moisture build up.
Hope this helps.

 

Or just drill some ventilation holes :gc-wmscared0016:

 

Only if the holes were too small. Drilling on the trunk side of course.

 

Drilling more holes to "ventilate" the tail light housing will cause MORE moisture or liquid build up which then causes condensation.
I wouldn't be surprised if moisture or liquid got into the holes that you're suggesting the OP to drill in..

OP,
If you're going to use those tail lights;
It's either you re-seal wherever it is leaking or you throw in some silica gel packets like I suggested.

or

you can source new / used tail lights from a vendor or user.

 

How is water going to get into the tail light from inside the trunk? If the holes are big enough they will allow the condensation to evaporate or not build up at all. Try leaving a bulb out of it for a day to see if the condensation disappears. They aren't vacuum sealed you know and they have a vent in them already.

 

i have a picture but idk how to put it on here, it wants me to enter the url of the image but its on my computer. any way there is a pretty good amount of condensation which cause a build up of water im sure and my trunk gets water in it also, where the donut is supose to be. i love this car but its killin me right now haha

 

You need to find out where the water is coming into the trunk. You will never have good luck keeping water out of the lenses if there is water in the trunk.

 

u dont think the water is coming into the trunk from the tailights?

 

Not if it's sitting where the spare should be. There are a couple grommets around on the floor. That is what I would suspect.

Have you removed your tail lights?

 

ohh, & what are grommets?.. no i personally have not but the previous owner got into an accident and i think they took the light with the worse condensation out but still every other light gets it but not as bad but watever

 

check if the seal is good between car and tails... and maybe make sure the tails are tight enough
so there is enough pressure on seal
i personnaly wouldnt drill a hole through the tails for evaporations

im pretty sure the tails are sealed unlike the headlights

never seen a drop of condensation and i opened 4 sets of tailights

 

They can't be sealed or condensation would always be a problem. If you look there is some kind of vent on them. I have seen these filled with spider egg sacks before clogging them up.

If there's water in the trunk then the whole car is going to suffer from condensation. Grommets are rubber plugs. If the tail light is not sealed then there is the problem.

 

cars under warranty, bring it in to the dealer

 

I found out the black piece on the top of the tail light isnt flush with the body of the car and water is going in there, it was rediculous after i got a car wash.. im going to bring it to the shop to get it sealed, how should i seal that piece, i heard use gorilla tape but then if i want to take off the tail light i cant. any suggestions
