    Hey guys I apologize if this is already a thread I looked for a good 15 minutes and couldn't find anything. I recently noticed that I have some condensation in the reverse lights of my tail lights and as you can see its worse in the turn signals. Tail lights are original I believe and I replaced both turn signal housings about a year ago. Any fixes y'all know of? If there is a thread again I apologize and could you post the link? Thanks for all the help guys

    Check the seal where the bulb goes in to the lens. Deteriorated? Replace.
    Sometime poor manufacturing is the cause of lens sweat. The surfaces between the actual lens and the reflector don't get welded properly which allows moisture to enter. A quick fix is to use clear silicon to seal the lens and the reflector.

    Had the same problem. I pulled my tail lights apart and cleaned the seal off well with goof off. Worked fine, going on almost a year no problems.

    As for the front turn signals, I bought a new set on Amazon for $22.
