How did you pour the Windex in? I'm thinking about trying this tonight.

I just poured the Windex in through one of the two signal lamp holes, then sloshed it around. I then turned the assembly so the lens was perpendicular to the ground so the fluid could sheet off evenly, then rotated it further to drain, and let it dry with the lens facing up.

So I attempted to dry my AP1 light this past weekend, and it didnt exactly work. I couldn't just pour Windex in to any of the lamp holes because each one has a lense on it which would prevent it from getting to the clear plastic. I had the same problem when trying to blow air inside. Looks like my only solution is to take the light apart and dry it that way

Just finished mine! It was a pain to try to get it dry with a blow dryer.... Other than that it's fairly straight forward. Thanks for the courtesy of APHEX4000, for helping me through out the whole ordeal.
Taillight shouting out 'make it rain' lol

This's something I did with mine, been almost 2 years seem to be fine. I think the 4 small nuts just come loose especially people with Sub, than water get pass the foam gasket down to the rear openings @ the bulbs/seals into the lamp housing especially Ap2 even dust get inside.
Cork screw gasket material from Home Depot, cut out same as OEM foam gasket. Silicone cork gasket onto the back of taillight assembly. Than OEM foam gasket behind, also I added star lock washers to the 4 mounting nuts. Almost 2 years inside of lamp still look clean
