Grrr some condensation inside of lights...

What do I when there's water inside my lights? My car has been sitting for like a month and there is like water and fog in my rear side markers and front turning signals... what do I do?

They are aftermarket right? I know mine get a little inside when I wash it but it goes away in a few hours. I really dont know what to tell you other than I dont think its normal. Try taking them apart and hitting them with a hair dryer!

Obviously there is a seal problem with your lenses and they are all very easy to take off the car.

I would take them off and dump out the water and let them sit in a very warm area (near your furnace in your house) so the water evaporates. In the morning just to make sure the water is gone, blow hot air in there using a hair dryer. That should take care of any water droplets still left.

Finally, I would use a little clear silicone around the entire lense to ensure no more water gets in there. Let the silicone cure over night and then reinstall the lenses.

There still has to be some kind of opening in there that you can funnel air into.
