That means you have a small crack somewhere, or the seal has a leak somewhere...Somehow they are getting the water in them, and thats not supposed to happen...

It depends on where the crack is and such.

Is it where the seal for the light is? Because then you just have to fill / reseal and you're good to go.

I have that same problem, but i'm not worrying about it because I'll have the LED tails soon enough.

okay i ran out and took some pics of it real quick lol sorry that they aren't like right up on it but the sun's glare was making it hard to see them at certain angles. i really think someone rubbed up against it really really hard before i got it bcuz if you look above the cracks there is a huge scuff going from the plastic of the tailight onto the actual body of the car. and its been there since i got the car over a year ago. but hopefully this will give ya a lil bit more of an idea what to do with it. and i feel bad that i kinda took over this thread
