Well I just installed my shiny new TYC tails this weekend. Up here in NE we have been getting some very crappy weather lately. Yesterday it rained and got so warm the there was a lot of fog coming right off the street and snow and visibilty was like 2 ft in front of me.
Now this all leads up to I have moisture in my TYC Tails :furious:
Now would all that fog cause it. Because it rained 3 days ago and I had no issues with em but when I got up this morning There was slight moisture on the sides.
Now does this mean I need to pop them out and reseal them. I am pretty sure I have the second gen (that cant be split open and tinkered with) so I do not know how the seal could have broken??
Suggestions or help would be appreciated!

What happend is with it being warm and rainy then get cold again the warm air got trapped in your tails. its normall itll eventually go away. Check the rubber foam pad and see if it is sitting correctly on the taillight. also you can take them off and run a blow dryer through one hole on low setting to air them out then later put them back on. As far as if there the Gen 1 or Gen 2 ill post a pic of what you should look for. If they are the Gen 1 tails you can open them up so they can air out. If there is a blue stamp like so any where on the back side of the tail then they are a Gen 2. Look carefully for it. It will not be in the same location as this.

Aight thanks TRD. That makes me feel a lot better to know that it isnt going to always be like that ;)
I will check the seal when I go to rip apart the back again for paint. Not gonna do any damage so no harm no foul for the time being.
And they are Gen 2 =)
