Water entering into tail light

[Pureness]

any idea who or how should i go about repairing it?

when it rains water will accumulate into my rear brake light

 

this far it doesn't seem to spoil the lights though

Take out reseal with silicon, else drill a tiny hole at the most bottom part where it's not obvious.

My car had the same problem.. Easy to solve.. Just involves drilling a small hole at e base of the light.. Did mine at SKM for a minimal fee

problem is i don't know where the leak is coming from

 

would a small hole remove vapour too?

3 option here.

 

1. change a new tail lamp.

 

2. Reseal the tail lamp.

 

3. Drill hole to release water.

 

But this wouldn't work if it is water vapour. Water vapour is normal. Even my headlight, during damn cooling days will have vapour after switching on for long hours.

My rear tail light also water entered...I have resealed with silicon all around. But after 2 weeks, water appeared again in my tail light. Got pissed off and went stockist and got it replaced. Last month my front headlight also encountered same problem...I got it replaced too...so far so gd....Total damaged $200+ for front X1 n rear X1 ....

noted. however my tail lights will cost over $250 if bought 2nd hand from ebay

if bought from local distributor i suspect will be over $300 easily

You could try this on a Sunday afternoon. Remove tail lamp assembly and clean it well. Inspect for any damages, leaks and the rubber washers which secure the lens to the base of the assembly. Ensure it
