tail light filling with water and condensation - HELP!
My right tail light has lots of condensation in it. Also, I just took it to the car wash and it seems to have filled up a bit with water. I've noticed this problem in some other RX-8s I've seen on the road. Is this a manufacturer defect? Suggestions? I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to cars. Thanks.

If your 8 is not under warranty then you can buy the gasket and do it yourself.

My tail light did the same thing. I bought the Mazda gasket, which is stupid expensive, It is just a bit thicker than the original which is just a piece of foam of some sort .Most likely the water is running in at the top of the tail light right below where the water drains off the trunk lid. There is good info on how to remove the tail light right here on the forum. Take it out , dry the water out . I used compressed air, but there are other ways. Get you some clear silicone sealer and put a small bead of the silicone on the rear panel where the gasket contacts the panel.Put your tail light back in and no more water. Hope this helps .
