Agreed... you should have seen the stock endlinks on this '10. That after years of under-covering work trying to perfect the 5th Gen Camaro... couldn't believe that shit. |

Did you buy your Camaro brand new? The reason I'm asking is that if you bought it used, maybe the lights were damaged from an accident before you owned it. They might have replaced the bumpers, but kept the old lights because they looked good. Just a thought. Before drilling any holes, I'd try to figure out where the water is coming in to cause the condensation. The tailights are easy to remove and inspect before drilling holes. However, the headlights will require the front bumper to be taken off. It's not that hard though and you can do some cleaning inside that area while it's off. |

Not that it's related in any way since there's condensation in both the headlight and taillight, but it looks like the car has RS taillights and non-RS headlights.... Just an observation.

I don't know but drilling holes into my lights would be the last thing I would ever do.

I had a weird thing happen with a light once. It kept filling up with water every time I drove in the rain but I couldn't find any place it could get in. Turns out there was a tiny crack in the lenses and the water was forced in while driving.

Sorry to say this but, something is fishy with your car. It seems to have the RS tail lights and the non-RS head lights.. not a OEM combination. It would seem that your car may have non-OEM lights, or salvaged "takeoff" lights, which could have been previously dropped (which could damage the sealing cement) or that there may be micro-cracks in the lens surfaces.

I've been here on camaro5 since 2008. Never heard of this problem, not even once.
Did you buy the car new? The lamps may have been repaired improperly at some point. If your the original owner then you would knowif they have never been out of the car for any reason Just a thought.

He's posted numerous times in the past about upgrading the headlights and taillights.

Also, I noticed the factory "orange peel" in the paint looked a little rough on the front bumper near the condensated headlight on the side by the fender. Like a repaint was done. However, that may be due to the camera on the OP's phone. |
