Wait until they dry out and then silicone the entire joining edge around the light using a Auto/Boat Silicone.

I do recall a post that mentioned about 'baking it to open 'em and reseal 'em w/silicone'. I think I'll go with your solution.. but hey any ideas would be greatly consider'd. Thanks!

Well you could open them and reseal them. Then you wouldn't see the silicone.

But just silicon around the outer edge should probably suffice.

If you don't want to see a little silicon around the light when you open the trunk, then go with the bake and seal option .

.

You could put the original lights back on. Two problems fixed...

No more moisture.
No more Altezza.

You know, everytime I see the subject line on this thread, I can't help thinking that it's some chick asking about the alteza's that she saw on a car, and REALLY, REALLY liked them... but, maybe I'm just a pig...

MRDERRICK also has that problem
u have to take the light off and hold it under water (of course with out the light bulbs in it) and see where the water leaks in at. then put some sealent on the spot where its leaking in. OR you can jus get a small bottle and apply it all around the edges of the light(s).

So you're saying to take it off... and stick it under water so it gets more water in it? That doesn't help get the moisture out in the first place though lol. I've got the same problem on my CF's, and want it gone. It's pretty ugly :[ Hopefully the heat of the summer will make it go away, then I can seal it. I've tried using a blow drier to get it out, with no success.
