ok...i've seen something about this before but i need help. I bought the meatball lights and the left one fogged up. I found the hole where the moisture leaked in, but I don't know how to get the moisture out before i seal the hole. Can anyone help? I wish I had the money to just put these aside and get the other new taillights that are coming out, but i guess I'm stuck with these for now!

I forget what the stuff was called, but I've seen it at Home Depot. It's just some crystals that you pour in and let sit for a while. They absorb all of the moisture.

They should just pour right out. They may leave a small amount dust behind, but nowhere near as noticeable as the fogging, and it's the only way to get rid of the fogging.

Or you can do the smart thing and just take off the left one and put it in the window sill for about a week and then put it back on. The sun should dry it up fine and it won't leave any spots. I had to do it a few times...now i say good bye to the meatballs, hello red out kit...Fuking APC
