turn signal has water in it

[tiFreak]

I just noticed today that one of my turn signals has water inside the lens does anyone know how to get it out? I assume a nice thick bead of silicone around the edges and anywhere else water might get in would keep it from coming back once I get it out but I need to get rid of it first

btw, yes, I do have the cheap "made in taiwan" turn signals, I realize the quality is sh!t, there's no need to repeat that, okay?

More than likely you did not snap the bulb socket and made sure it snaped in. to get the water out just take the corner out and drained it.

And lastly.....take the freaking neon out of there and it should solve the problem!

Lazoh, I think you're right, when I changed the bulbs to the stealth bulbs I did have trouble getting my hand into the area behind the signal because of my washer fluid reservoir, and that was on the side that I now have water in, thanks, I'll have to check that out

Anytime and take the corner out, drain the water and before you snap it in make sure the bulb socket snaps in place good!!! YOU

That's the problem right there. Putting water in your washer fluid reservoir. If you'd put something else there, you wouldn't have water in your lights now would you?

I think the problem started from your front mesh.

I pulled the light off today and used a paper towel to get as much of the water out as I could but there are some areas my fingers aren't long enough to reach, I've put it all back together, making sure the socket is snapped in all the way, but there is still a little bit of water in it, will it eventually go away on it's own or am I stuck with it?

Leave it facing the sun and it will evaporate or you can use a hair dryer too.

take a straw...cut it in half...put one end inside of the light cover....the other end in your nose...snort....harder...did ya get it?

[thesk8nmidget]

yes what sean said! works great!

but you cant just suck it out with your mouth it wont pick it all up your nose has more sucking power

Use a hair dryer to leave it out in a dry place overnight. Another option is you can use those little white packets of Silica Gel from shoe or dry goods to absorb moisture out of interior, signal, headlight, tail lights etc.

come on guys!! Give the guy a break, so he likes to sing "puff the magic dragon" song!

The blow dryer should be the quickest and best to get that water out.
