Other than buying aftermarket lens(oe is $125 a piece new), is there a near perfect solution to solve the moisture mystery? It's real bad on mine, to the point where my bulbs are affected.

Any input appreciated.
 


you CANNOT bake tail lights. they are plastic welded together. why do you think you have to cut the tail lights apart to clear/paint them? hm?

drill a small hole or two in the bottom of the light to drain/vent moisture. done.
 
no baking them just makes the glue separate easier so you can just pull the lenses off. drilling a hole is a horrible idea because it doesn't fix the original problem
 
I had an extra set of tail lights and I used a blow dryer on the outer part of the lens and it was working as I was prying it off until my the dryer blew up. I think a heat gun would work too maybe?
 


i guarantee you cannot pull them apart without cutting them. they are not sealed with any time of glue or sealer...its plastic WELDED.

you guys do know i've gutted tail lights before, right?

and drilling a hole or two does fix the problem. it allows the tails to vent and even if they do get moisture in them they'll clear up on their own. you don't seal things like that, you vent them.
 
I have never worked on them before and tried heating one like others say. It's still sitting in my garage after the dryer blew up lol. I guess I learn something new everyday lol

I did that to the head light on my Dakota and it worked great, I drilled one on each side for proper draining and ventilation.
