WHY !!!!!!!! why did you buy that played out shit ?

i guess i wont rip on ya too bad and help ya out...
You already have gotten moisture inside your cheap ass junky tails because you didnt put a sealant ring around them...now you already have moisture in them...take a drill witha very very small bit and drill a series of holes on the bottom of teh casingright up next to the backplate so that no light will shine in and drill a series of a few small holes so that the moisture can condenste and run out of the tail..then take some clear RTV silicone sealant and run a bead of it along the entire backside of the lamps where teh glass meets the housing and allow to dry....after a week or so the moisture will have run out of the lamp...then remove them again and seal up those small little holes you drilled...tail lamp looks good as gay and with no leaks

Re: Problem with new tailights

HATERZ! i dont see why its so difficult for some people on here to answer a simple question. all he asked was how to get the leak out. and i can remember about a month or 2 ago how mad people were saying the CF lights aer hot. but whatever one person says they ugly and everyone follows.

I think you all need to back off. It's his car, his opinion. To each his own. All that matters is he likes them.

Not only do they make your car look cool, but they add atleast 20hp too.

Re: Problem with new tailights

Take it off, sit it next to the heater or use a blow dryer to dry it out, then get some silicone and run a thick bead around the housing.

BTW: They are Altezzas, they are ugly, they are pieces of crap, they are played out, they are not hot, hot is spelled with one t, CF tails have always been ugly IMO, red/clears are the only way to go besides factory, haterz is spelled haters, and hooked on phonics almost worked for Bub Rub and Lil Sis, it may work for you
