Hey guys, I have a 2000 L and noticed the other day that the pass side tail has a lot of condensation. It has a been a few days without rain and it's still in there. Any suggestions how I can fix without replacing??

Check the boots for the wires in the back of tail housing to see if they are turned and locked in. It's a possibility that one may not be seated correctly.

If not then completely pull tail light assembly off. You can put them in the oven at a moderate temp/time so its easier to pull apart the lense from the housing. Let the moisture dry, affix silicone, and reassemble. While your at it, I would paint the shiny metal around the back-up light. That part really bugged me on mine. IMO
There's a "How To" in the top of this forum if you need to know how it's done.

Or buy another set. That particular tail light assembly is fairly cheap. I bought the same setup several years ago for my truck on EBAY.
