Default Water in Tail Lights


Does anyone else have a problem with water collecting in the bottom of their tail lights? I was thinking of drilling a really small hole at the bottom of them to keep this from happening. Any remedies or feedback thoughts are appreciated.

which lenses have the water in them? mine had water in the rev lens when i got it... I drilled tiny drain holes like you mentioned yourself.. it works fine for that problem..you can also get clear sealant and put a bead around the back section where the two parts are molded together..

I had drilled a small hole at the bottom of the taillights on my old Bravada due to condensation buildup. There are supposed to be filters that allow air to enter/exit the taillight housing to prohibit the formation of condensation, but it is clear that these things do not work all that well.
