Yeah same here, it didn't come after some crazy rainy day, nor when I blasted the hell out of it with water when washing, but it came on like a super cold morning followed by sun

I saw condesation in both of my tailights the other day after the few days of good rain we have had in a while..... Took a picture with my phone, wonder if the dealership will accept that.

My left tail light just started doing this. 4 months after delivery, 3500 miles. Odd because I checked for condensation during the wet weather we were having and it all looked good. Sunny and cold today with no precipitation in the past few days. :shrug:

I think it depends if someone has brought issue into their dealership before, otherwise you may need to bring it in with the problem

Saw condensation on both taillights after a couple of days of rain. Washed my car and I noticed the condensation. Took it to the dealership today and they said they will replace both the lenses and had the parts ordered! Installation included.

How long did you have to wait for a set of tails? I'm taking mine in tomorrow to have looked at or whatever they need to do. Hope your condensation won't come back.

This is getting ridiculous.
-I found condensation in both lights over a month ago.
-Went it so they could check it out. Was told they would order the parts and that I would get a call to schedule an appointment to install them.
-A week later I was told the parts arrived. Scheduled a second appointment.
-Dropped the car off for a second appointment and when it was done, I was told they only had the driver's side tail light in stock and I would have to come back to get the passenger swapped. I planned to have it done with my 7.5k maintenance visit.
-A week after they replaced the driver's side tail light, the condensation returned.

When are they going to get this fixed for real?
