Condensation in FP Clear Tail lights

[Angrey]

It's an engineering problem. You can't seal the light housing completely, otherwise the wide temp range will see vacuum and pressure that could collapse or burst the housing. Over time with heat and venting, the moisture should evaporate away, although with clear lense the scale and solids deposits might be more noticeable under close observation (than red).

Thanks… I think it’ll clear up, but I don’t think it should be happening in the first place…

Dont let anyone fool you. They leak because of "PAD" ( Poor Ass Design) which American Car manufactures have been doing since they put "Peanut Counters" in charge of R&D which meant their primary concern wasn't Quality or Reliability, but rather for Profits.
- Remove the tail lights
- Run a Hair Dryer over the back lens until the condensation is dried up
- Buy a tube of Silicone "ULTRA BLACK"
- Run a small bead around the perimeter of the two half shells where they come together
- Pull out the rubber grommets which the wires pass through
- Put a small amount of Clear Dielectric Grease around rubber grommets groove
- Re-install the rubber grommets
** Make sure their is a ( foam Rain Bead Seal) about a 1/4" piece of Rain Bead seal trim going around the the top half back of the tail Light so when water comes over the top of the light assembly, the water will not drain down behind the light, but rather around the top part of the light assembly.
Worked for me when I use to buy American cars for 50% always built up condensation.
Good Luck

Just a touchless wash, other than that it’s in the garage when I’m driving it.

Must have a huge garage….

FP isnt OEM they are still considered aftermarket.

Which in this case is a distinction without a difference.

These are the same as included in the Mustang Ice White Appearance and Stealth Packages

Neat trick, how do you do that?

Sorry, I had to. Wish I had a garage that big…..sooo many cars I’d wish to put in there.
