Water in tailights
I have an 06 ap2 and noticed that my right tail light looks like water has gotten into it somehow. It's been raining more than usual here in San Diego and that's probably why, but I noticed this issue a couple months back with the left tail light after I had washed my car. I have never touched/altered my tail lights in anyway since I got it from a honda dealership about a year ago. Has anyone had these issues also or know what it may be?
Thanks in advance,
Arthur

I have had the same problem in the past, I would take them out and there are 2 screws you can take out and let the condensation drip out. (the 2 screws hold the inner guts to the light together) This is on my '01 S2geezy, that makes the girls turn sleezy.
Also use a hair dryer in the small screw holes because the holes where the bulbs go in dont go to the clear outside area you see from the outside. (Its a pain, but it works) I then used a silcone putty on places where the clear plastic, clips on the taillight itself and never have had the problem again. But make sure the light is completely dry before you use the putty.
I also try not to apply direct water pressure on the tailights.

I too had that problem, and just replaced my right rear taillight cause of the water build-up. I also replaced the gasket. I haven't looked closely at the old one to see where water got in, but it's been very wet here in SF Bay Area. The left rear was replaced a year or two ago when it cracked in a minor accident, and it has remained dry.
