Default condensation in taillight

is there a fix that does not involve replacing the offending part?, the hoses are all in working order, no blockages or opening through cracks or other... tia, kk

Do you mean temporary fix? Put the tail lights in a warm place and wait. The moisture will evaporate out. As for a permanent fix, install the vent kit.

It's a Porsche fix - 000 043 202 52. See here for DIY: http://www.rsamerica.net/articles/te...r_vent_kit.htm

Moisture must be getting in somewhere. Check all of the gaskets.

yes, and all hoses are good and clear, only driverside light has condensation, should i drill a tiny hole to let it out, or will that just let more in...
