Hey - just wanted to say that I had a leak right rear taillight. (full of water). I ended up following instructions to take the light off so I could drain the water. I found one of the bolts was loose and that's why the water got in. (who-ever changed my rear break light screwed me!)

Anyway - maybe it's the same case for you.

Tnx for the tips, however both of mine are leaky. The previous owner already tried to "fix" them by drilling holes at the bottom and in the process created more issues it seems as one of them was separated and not glued at all at the seam (between the 2 pieces) anymore. I tried to seal with silicone at the seam and at the contact points with the body as the gaskets fell apart upon removal but that didn't work that well and for very long as they fog up yet again and it's was even worse when I went trough the high-pressure touchless carwash before storing the car for the winter. Not to mention, it looks like overtightened one of them and a piece with the bolt broke off so I had to take it off and epoxy it up. I could redo with better glue/sealant yet again I suppose but I thought it might be easier to just get new ones in case someone's got a good set they don't need.
