Default Hazy taillight fix?



Unhazy light


Hazy light

​​​​​​Hey guys/gals,

Just noticed that one of my taillights seems to be a bit hazy (sorry, can't think of a better way to describe it). This haze is only on the clear part of the taillight. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Look up headlight restoration kits. The same can be used on the tail lights.

​​​​​​I'm not sure if the haze is from the inside of the light or the outside.

Probably moisture got into one of your taillight.
if you want to replace it, I have a passenger side tail light for sale.
I am in Los Angeles.

thanks

If it's moisture on the inside, there should be a rubber vent hose that attaches to the back of the taillight. You might try removing the light from the car, which is really easy - 2 screws and 1 plug and the orient the light so that if you use a hair dryer set on low and heat up the light, the moisture inside will be able to evaporate up and out. Worth a shot before deciding to replace the light.
