this really bothers me, i have water trapped in my left (drivers) tail light.
its always fogged up and looks crappy.

does anyone know how to fix this, and is it easy to, if i had to, to remove the tail light and do it myself?

and im having trouble finding any rx8 aftermarket tail lights, anyone have a good site?

i didnt know they would of taken care of it for me i was never given that option, im mad. haha

im thinking im just going to take mine apart and drain them first.
if the condensation comes back ill buy myself a new gasket.

It will come back.

The water gets in though the bulb socket orifices. If you drill a hole underneath the bulb socket it should drain before water gets into the taillight. When you pull out the taillight, you should be able to tell where to drill. I noticed this after I had already drilled three holes at the bottom of my taillight. Either way it works. my taillights are clear! Now if only I could fix the front lights condensation problem...

do you still have warranty? if so just bring it back to the dealer and have them replaced. got mine replaced cause of the same reason.
