Angry Foggy Aftermarket Tail Light Lens

I purchased some aftermarket tail lights about 2 months ago..They are cool looking, same ones like Tim Skeltons (Black outs).. Well before putting them on, I sealed them up really good with some silicone glue sealant so water couldn't get inside.. Well one of the light housing is still ok but the other apparently got a leak... Anyone know how to get this water out? blow dry/ wet vac?? Then I can find the leak and re seal it...

Can anyone give me some suggestions?

take them out and drill a small hole in the bottom of them close to the seal so no one can recognize. Small!


I did this in my eclipse and it worked well.

Bummer. I have both the black tails and the supposedly junk APC projector headlights. No problems at all with either, but here in SoCal, the only water they see is when I wash.

The hole trick is the ticket, but follow the advice above and make it SMALL. I would also shove a little bit of sponge or cigarette filter or something in the hole to prevent dust, bugs, etc from getting in.
