rear tail lights fogging!

hey guys.

here is a wierd question.. and i kinda need an answer asap!!

ever since i put my altezza tails on my iroc...they have been fogging...

now..i know that sometimes the stock lenses fog as well..i was just wondering if anyone knew a great way to get rid of the fog once it appears..

(i have a show tomorrow and it looks like total azz with the fog on one of the lenses.)

thanks

obviously you have a leak or poor sealing. Find it dry up the fogger and you should be good to go, not much else you can do.

altezza's on a iroc?,
didnt know they made such a thing,
was there really enough of a demand for those for them to make them,
i want to see some pics of these, on your car if possible,
they definitaly sound different on a third gen,
but itll probably make your car look too much like a honda,
hope theyer tastfull

yep thats me the newbie making newbie errors,
i hate search engines anyways,
it never brings up what i want the first time, even if i know what it is im looking for,
ive actually seen his site befor, dont know how i missed them,
they look good, not the way id go personaly, but very tastefull,
ive seen some m*st*ngs befor that looked ok with em, although with a m*st*ng whats the point, its still gonna look like a m*st*ng

you know...i dont know (you are the 2nd person to have asked that)

i didnt see any when i bought them...but...could have them..

although......they are totally fabbed right into the car..so its not gonna be easy to get them off the car...

im waiting until after darknights to see whats happening and ill try and pull them off and take it from there..

thanks for the help

try taking them out and blowdrying in the holes and then install them back in once the air is evaporated. Should be a quick fix... but not a permanent solution
