Tail light BS

I've done a search, but nothing matches what I'm looking for. I've seen this problem with the LT1 93-97 tail lights and I don't know what it is. White spots are appearing under the lens, little air bubbles. Is this because there is an adhesive between the lens and the black grid of the light that is breaking its seal? How do I fix this?

I believe you're right. I have 1 worn spot on my taillight and it appears that it's because of the heat. I have parked my vert out in the sun every day and night for the past year and a half, and a few months ago I noticed this. I guess it could also be because of the extremely high humidity here in Hawaii too though.

Yeah, I think that's it. Does anyone know if there's a way to fix it? Do I re-glue it?

A lot of lt1 birds have this problem. You can get the Ls1 version, supposedly they are made better and keep a nice seal. I have condensation that has built up over the last year, along with the grid separating from inside, it looks more horrible than ever. I think rain leaks into the assembly which is why it only gets worse. I finally rounded up some money to buy some used ones and am now waiting for them to come in the mail. I wish though, that I could afford the 98+ stylye.

If so, I don't think there is a fix. I know some have tried and failed so if there is, I don't know the proper way to do it

I hate that for you, really, I do.

I say you should look into doing like the pic Brent posted - just clear them - then you don't have anything left to seperate from anything else.
