Re: Foggy tail lights...

Hey, I have an idea. Get an American car!
My guess is that your car is too light, made of cheap plastic parts and
sounds like a humming bird farting in a coke bottle. My guess is the people
behind you are laughing so hard, that they are indeed fogging up your tail
lights with their breath.

just an idea

It sounds like you have some warm moist air trapped inside your tail light
housing so when the cool air circulates inside the car and cools the lens
moisture condensate just like a nice can of beer being placed outside on a
warm day.

The best way to resolve that is to clean out the moisture inside the lens,
replace your seals, or apply some silicone sealants to prevent any
moisture
getting in your tail light housing. This is common on older cars as the
seals deteriorate.

In my 1987 Accord, I've been noticing the tail lights get real foggy
(humidity) since I recharged my freon in my AC a couple weeks ago, not
that it gets nice and cool in the car, it seems that the tail lights
build up a lot of humidity, what might I do to make them stop fogging
up besides turn the AC off and drive in the heat and humidity too?

it's most likely that the seal between the light housing and the car body is
leaking. easeist solution is to remove the light housing, check the seal -
order a new own if you can, and seal it with some clear silicon..
