Hmm...weird. I didn't even fix it. Now my driver side tailight is perfectly clear. I looked inside and there's no water or condensation at all for the past 4 days. One damn less thing for me to do...lol *shrugs*

I have the same problem with my drivers side tailight. Is there a DYI on the baking, resealing process?

that happened to me on my first s2000. i bought it like at the end of winter then i saw the tail lights have moisture. i waited til summer and voila! they disappeared!

on the other hand it might be because of brokern seals.

I had the same problem but on the passenger side. I used the same process as Apex4000 but before I used the blow dyer, I poured a small amount of windex inside. Then I used a Permatex® Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive Sealant to seal completely around the tail light. So far, so good!

Argh! I had considered using a vinegar solution but got cold feet. Why didn't I think of using Windex!? Were you able to prevent any spotting?
