Yea if you drill a small hole in the tail light it will remove the condensation, or you can re seal the gasket or even go to RotaryFX.com and by a new gasket from them that is meant to keep the condensation out.

But the cheapest way is to just drill a small hole in it.

Thats werid.... does it look like a perfectly round hole that someone drilled?? I cant imagine why they would drill a huge one in the center unless they were morons and were trying to remove the condensation and did a hole waaaaay to big...

What is going to be your method of tinting? I just blacked out my emblems and added the spoiler to mine and now i want to tint the tail lights but overlays was a complete fail...

^ Try to find a shop that can tint them for you.. From what I've been told regular tint film from windows wont work so well for tail/headlights
