Default Tail Light Condensation

90 Integra has serious condensation in upper half of tailights - lens are nearly completely white.
Any thoughts on how to get rid of it? I read a long time ago to drill a small hole - but I don't know if I like that idea.
thanks

common problem to this generation
take off lights and seal with silicon around the clear cover
of the lights
and drill a hole in the bottom part by where the socket goes into..

I've never looked for it on a '90, but every light I've seen has a vent somewhere. Make sure that's clear & you shouldn't have to drill a new hole.

But most likely part of the lens has come unglued from the housing letting water in there to begin with. Silicone caulking sounds like a good idea.

I work at a shop and we get customers with Altezza style lights. Once condensation hits, we just drill a little hole in the bottom and cures the problem. Not one has come back yet.
