My drivers side taillight looks like it has some moisture and dirt and all in it so the tail light looks kind of messed up with the swirls of dirt. Do i need a new tail light or should i take it out clean it and try to seal it better than the *** that we bought it off of did when he had it off?

You are probably better off just buying a new one. I have heard/seen a few people try to "fix" this problem and none have been successful

You might want to try fixing your existing taillight before buying a replacement, these taillights are EXPENSIVE! I've got moisture in my right side taillight, specifically inside the clear backup lens. I've tried to find where the moisture is coming from, unsuccessfully. So, I'm going to drill a small hole (which should be invisible to the outside) in the base of the cavity, to hopefully allow just enough air in to keep the inside dry. If that fails, then I'll grit my teeth and buy a replacement taillight.

Let us know how that goes; I've got TA tailights and I have the same problem.

you can easily fix this, and while your at it, you can make them clear if you'd like. I'd pull them apart, yes they come apart, very very carefully, you'll be able to do this with just straight screw drivers. be careful not to chip the lights when trying to pry. get all the old silicone out, dry the lenses, pull out the red if you want. and seal them back up with some silicone. Easy
