Default tailights issues...

Ok guys....
I've replaced the left taillamp on a 98 integra because there was water inside. Things were fine for a while and now for some reason both lights seem to be holding lots of water. There has been no damage to the rear end of this car and i just dont get how this much water is collecting in the lights. I've check the gaskets on both and alignment of everything. Is there an issue with this situation from the factory? I've had a similar incident replacing a customers taillamp before for water. I also noticed when you pop off the little cover in the trunk for lamp access, the light are very open and i can see how lots of water can get in...any help is greatly appreciated....

are the bulbs screwed in tight? did you check the seals on the light housing?

Change your gaskets and seal it up with silicone. I believe ragejed sells thicker gaskets.

If you're getting condensation in your tailights, just bake them in the oven, (just to heat up the sealant) and then re-seal them with some clear silicon where it is needed.
Hope this helps you
