   Hi,
   
   I have noticed that my left tail light has let water in and steamed the whole thing up. Is there a way of getting rid of it or is it just the case of buying a new light??

   Best bet to let it dry out then run a bead of silicon all around the unit,
   other than that just use it as an excuse to buy some shiny new smoked ones lol

   Hi Paresh,
   
   Remove the tail light and empty the water. Dry is as best you can - hair dryer? Check that the rubber seal is intact.
   
   Then reassemble, but in order to fully compress the rubber seal then use the wheel brace on the plastic nut (it will fit) to GENTLY tighten the seal.
