Take a heat gun to it and take off the lens. Clean it and seal it again =D

It's funny how Guiffre Mazda in Brooklyn told me its perfectly normal.

I'd go looking for a junkyard replacement, but since its "broken" anyways, may as well try sayno's idea first.

So how does one use a heat gun to take off the lens? I've got the same exact problem. How did the water get in? If there's a hole then it will just happen again, no?

Velocity

Hey, thats what mine looks like too. My car is still under warrenty, but the Mazda dealership says it's not covered. WTF?

My rear taillight is like this as well. I just haven't had time to take it in. I suppose I'll call them tomorrow and schedule an appointment to get it fixed. I just printed out the TSB and I'm going to bring it in case they give me a hard time.

It seems that MOST dealership does not know about the gasket problem. They just replace the whole light. Like me

guess what, after what, 3-4 months ? its fogging up again ~~~~ starting @ the right side now. not major, but its there ... *sigh*

Print the TSB out and bring it to dealership, its cover if u're in warranty (they replaced both of my lights like 3-4 times already)

U're in Queens ? Im in Queens too.

What part are you in ? maybe we can meet up and see what your problems are.

I had the same problem, but didn't feel like it needed to be replaced. So, I got some clear silicone and applied it around where the lens was attached together, and the problem was solved!

Can you point out where you apply the silicone. I think I have an idea where to apply it, but just want to be sure.

Cuz this **** is making me sick as well.

R Magic

Just between the clear plastic and the black plastic part. But, we sure to do it all around the whole light, I would recommed removing the tail light and doing it.

I remove my tail light like 10 times already

I will give that a try, need to get some silicone sealant tho. Do you think the ones that they use for sealing oil pan works ?

this happend to my first 8, what i did was loosen one of the screws on the back of the tail light, just loosen a lil, dont take OFF!!...so this way air and moisture can escape and not build up on the inside.....

the stig

my is like that but as as bad. im out of warranty, so i guess ill just buy one from ebay. don't think the dealership can help me with anyway with out money involved

jp4wd

i had the same problem when i first dot my 8. It doesnt matter weather its still in warranty or not. Theres a TSB for that so the dealer should give you any trouble to get that replaced.

complex

i think ill try the sealant idea..

im near the bqe off northern blvd.maybe..

yes it does.you need to be under warranty to get tsb work done.
