Condensation in rear light clusters

[Tempy]

I have darker rear lights fitted on my Ro and ever since I've had the car, they've got condensation in side them when it gets colder during the year. I've been meaning to get this sorted, but haven't been arsed.

Does anyone know the best way to sort it out? Ive heard stories of people putting them in the oven on a very low heat to dry them out and then resealing them with silicone.

Anyone tried resealing there light seals?

I had the same problem on my Toyota, just remove the bulb holders and they dry out pretty quick, better if in a warm place, I can get the sealant to seal the lights, just let me know if you want any, free of course

Thank you kindly sir. I would like to give it a go, but fear the weather is not good for me to take the light clusters out. Not unless i can find a dry day over xmas.

Mick, I forgot, you wanted another sticker. Now that you're going to the xmas meet, I will bring one along for you. I've already used a couple on some storage boxes in Tempy manor

ok no problem, I'm an expert at sealing and gluing, I am off work all week back on friday, could pop round next sunday and remove them, dry them out sunday night and monday day, seal them monday night ready to be fitted Tuesday, let me know if thats ok, if not always another time.
