i have a pair of carbon fiber tail lights, and on one of them a significant part of moisture is getting into them, any ideas how to get it out and fix this? i know i have to take them apart but dont know how
they just need to be re-sealed. I hate how altezzas do that sooo often. I don't know if you need to take them apart or not, someone will let you know

I haven't had it happen to me but what I've been told is to use a blow drier on warm to get that moisture to evaporate. then you use clear silicone or something along those lines to seal up the cracks and what not and that should do it.
Hopefully someone can clarify this
First, take off the taillights and let them dry, either with a blow dryer or in the sun. Then replace the gasket or use silicone on the opening where the light goes. Make sure the silicone dries first or you will have a heluva time getting you taillight off of it cracks in the future. If you still get moisture, then there is either a small crack in the lens or a hole in the gasket where the lens meets the base. In that case, you'll have to heat up the whole housing to seperate the glue that holds the lens to the housing and re-do it. Its a pain, but hopefully its the gasket where the light goes in from the trunk...that's simple enough...

haha yea turns out my dad had the same idea and he helped me and it did actually work, then siliconed it up to seal it and they are back on my car looking pretty
That's hilarious. Now we found a good way.
