Dirt and condensation in tail lights?
Hi there..... have had my S2000 for over 2 weeks now and was woundering if it was possible to remove the tail lights cover to clean the inside due to build up of dirt/dust and condinsation marks? Also my left chrome exhaust piece is loose..... honda say i need a new one costing £110 is there anywhere else i can buy the exhaust tip from cheeper? Replica maby? Cheers Vic

The tail light and condensation problem was common on my old car.
You need to move the entire tail light assembly. (very easy, remove the trunk carpet, remove the twist-in lights, and remove 4 nuts)
From there you can clean it out. There is no easy way to remove the clear lens only, though.
To keep it from happening again, you need to make sure that the tail light gasket is in good shape and seated properly. Upon inspection you'll be able to see where the gasket isn't seated properly against the light. If need be, order a new gasket.
