rather simple issue

Sorry if infact this is a repost.

Ive baught and installed the TYC CF Tail lights and Im in FL, where its hot and humid all the time. Well it rained yesterday and now there is condensation up the azz on the lens of my tail lights, How do I get rid of this and also stop it from comming back? I was told to drill a hole in the bottom of my lights and ofcoarse that will let the condensation drain out but wont that let more condensation in? Its making my tail lights look like shiznet already. Please let me know if youve had this problem before. Thanks.

-Chris

take out your taillights and close up all the holes where the bulbs should be except for one. with just that one opening, get a hair dryer and let hot air blow into it until all condensation is gone. if there is still water left in the housing, get a vaccum and a hose adapter and suck up all remaining water. (repeat blow dryer method if necessary). after doing so, to make sure condensation wont come back, bake your taillights for a little while, apply silicone sealant, and clamp them together for 20 minutes to make sure. if condensation still happens after that, jus put them on ebay or throw them out
