Replace them!

b) water is getting insight my rear tail lights.

That would be as distinct from the front tail lights? With water getting inside?

what can i use to seal up a crack on the outside of the tail light?.

Nail polish.

200 for a wheel alignment is a rip off. Shouldn't cost more than about $70.

thanks guys

If you have Japanese suspension, ditch it. If you have factory / original suspension, replace it. In both cases, refer the group buy on suspension.
