Re: Little condensation in tail lights

I am assuming that the condensation is inside the taillight? With that being the case,the only real way of getting rid of the condensation from that area is to remove the taillight assembly,and dry out the area(hair dryer/towel).

When refitting the taillight assembly,check the gasket and renew it if needed.Make sure you have a good seal around the taillight.

Re: Little condensation in tail lights

How old is the car? Did this just start happenning?

The HID headlight's and the tailights on my Audi always get some condensation no matter what the water source (car wash, rain, etc).

I noticed it after I got the car and brought it up to the Service Manager who gave me a notice from Audi saying they always will do that. Something about the way they sealed them during production

Wrong forum.

I can't think of any method to remove the condensation other than removing the headlight fixture. Is it bad?

Yeah there are methods on fixing it yourself, permanently, using your oven and some silicone. Google it up, plenty of Honda kids have done it to clear the corners.
