Unhappy Help: JDM Mitsubishi MR Taillights Fogging Up
I just bolted on a new set of JDM Mitsubishi MR taillights this weekend. They look killer, but they're fogging up. Ugh.

I never had this problem with the chrome USDM ones. Please tell me this moisture will eventually burn off, escape, whatever? Otherwise, any recommendations? Thanks.

I believe so. Why? are there knock-offs floating around. These came in the right Mitsubishi boxes and had all the right OEM markings.

Call the vendor and complain. If you got them on Ebay then there is a reasonable chance that they are knock-offs.

I had the same problem with my evo 7 taillights.I just made little holes(4 or 5) right on the bottom to help them breath.
