Default A few things:

I've had my SS for about a week and a half and at first, the condensation in the tail lights really didn't bug me, but now they do....a lot!

I don't want to pay for a new assembly of tail lights--Is there a somewhat way of taking the lights off, popping off the lid, and unplugging that engineered leak to let the moisture out??
Then possibly throw some silicone in there and bake them again??

Anyone successfully done this?

Also, I've got about 44K on the clock and I just noticed (first time yesterday I got on the highway to open her up) that the transmissin seems to skip or isn't really smoothing going from first to second--I bought it like this, still got a Shop warranty on it (bought it from my uncle's dealer)--do you think the fluid needs replaced? Going from second to third is fine--just from first to second, pushing the RPM's high when passing someone or WOT, seems like it skips

Thanks

I've heard of people drilling a small hole near the bottom of the lens where water or condensation can escape. Don't know if it works or not.

as to your other concern with the transmission i would have the system checked for codes you may have a pressure control solenoid problem. they should be able to come up with a code if you have a pcs problem.
