/2on Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Im pretty sure if you have a look in the DIY thread theres a post about it in there and what to use to reseal your tail lights Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/182505-water-in-tail-lights/#findComment-3311946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
unarmed_skyline Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 cheap way just drill a small hole in the bottom then let water leak out, then get a hairdryer make the heat go into the hole and it should dry up the residue then with the hole in the bottom it wont build up anymore Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/182505-water-in-tail-lights/#findComment-3311964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurfpirate Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 i think you might need to take the hole lamp out and open the casing then i would reseal it.

adam-__- Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 If you wanna fix up the problem you're gonna need to take the lights out. You can always do it on the cheap like what unarmed_skyline said though.

Rekin Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 DIY Thread; http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=water+in+light Had similar problem, took to mechanic to reseal tail-light and got it done for $50. Not worth the effort for such a small price in my opinion Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/182505-water-in-tail-lights/#findComment-3313368 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth the effort for such a small price in my opinion get windscreen sealer for a couple dollars from your repco/autobarn, and seal it yourself.. it took me literally 10 mins to take light housing out, dry, put back in, and seal Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/182505-water-in-tail-lights/#findComment-3334065 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekin Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 If you are confident with silicon on your car by all means go for it. I didnt want to risk spreading some silicon onto the paintwork if it only costs a couple of dollars by a professional Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/182505-water-in-tail-lights/#findComment-3335187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tek_01 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 in my case (R33) i took a good 2/3hours maybe even more for the whole thing but they are real to take out, require ALOT of force. I thought it was the seal around the tail light that went bad but it wasnt coz it still does the same thing it actually was the seal between the reverse light section and brake light section (if you have an r33 you know what i mean) ended up doing what the fellow up above said, drilled small holes and never looked back!
