Default Tail light?

I have the black euro's on my dc4 integra and my passenger side is 100% clear but my driver side is fogged on half the side. Does anyone know how I can de-fog it then seal it so no more moisture generates inside it. Let me know what you have in mind, Thanks!

well i guess you can ghetto it out and just slap a thick as layer of silicone around the whole surrounding area where it meets together.... but i would take it apart.

seriously... thats how we took apart the tails on the TL to do the LED taillights, but yea... just put a cardboard on the bottom of the oven to catch the water... then just take it apart... be sure not to warp the plastic though.. or else you gotta buy a new cover.
