Hey friends....I may not be the inventor of this particular procedure, so if I am not...a thousand apologies. I thought it was a pretty good idea.
If you have a cracked taillight on our generation 4 firebirds and camaros, there is the propensity for water to get into the light housing. This water will sit there and cause a myriad of problems. While changing a turn signal bulb last night on my 96 bird, I noticed water sloshing around in the fixture and figured that's what probably took out the bulb. So I went into the garage and got my cordless drill (if you use a corded electric, please be careful) and drilled four holes evenly spaced across the lenth of the bottom of the taillight assembly.(use a smaller bit) Needless to say, water came pouring out. Now, the fixture is clearing up...it was cloudy...and the water is gone. It isn't a permanent solution, but it sure helps till you can replace the problem taillight assembly. Hope this helps somebody out....blessings. [img]graemlins/wavey.gif[/img]
