my right tail is fogging up and im just wondering is that from a bad seal or wtf if going on??? It hasnt affected the lighting yet so im not sure if i should be worried.

yeah its a bad seal...if you want you could take off the lens and let it sit inside for a while or use a hair dryer on it so all the h2o gets out. then if you want put some silicon all around the edge for a better outer seal, but the back is practiacally open so this probably isnt necessary...just get the water out somehow

that tends to happen with the lower quality altezzas and crap. yeah, just seal it up good with some silicon you can buy anywhere.

I've also heard that drilling a small hole in the bottom of the tail will help this too. I'm pretty sure thats a load of crap, but anyone else heard of that?

Is this a stock light, or an aftermarket setup? Anyway, yeah... dry it out with something and seal it back up.

*pdiggitydogg* · 02-11-2003, 03:26 PM

if you were to drill a hole...which might not be that bad if its on the back...would have to be at the top with some kind of hose thingy like the headlight so the water has a way to get out

altezzas havent had a prob till now f*ckin apc

*pdiggitydogg* · 02-11-2003, 10:51 PM

you should have said it was APC in the 1st place..then we would have all said "Ooohh, yes that is the problem"

lesson #1 of buying cheap crap for your car: good god stay away from APC!!!

apc isn't that bad now, i got clear corners from them, not the CLEAR CLEAR EURO ones but the ones that looks kinda like the headlights in detail and they have never had a problem, but i would never get a performance part from them, and if i do get lights from them i would be smart enough to SEAL THEM UP MYSELF before applying

*pdiggitydogg* · 02-12-2003, 09:04 AM

the key to that is "seal them up myself" a person shouldnt have to do that with a good part...

exactly and i bought them b4 i knew how crappy apc was. Now i know so i will make better choices in the future
