Condensation!

My driver side tail light is sweating like a fat man's taint in a sauna on the Sahara!

Guess I gotta take her in...

So I took a glance at a cusco throttle body. Noticed tps is all in one piece, many years from now when its time to swap out the throttle position sensor will we have to swap out the whole thing like on (example) 05 impala??

Took the car in for 15k. Got tagged with a recall for the ECU update. 1 hour just turned into 3-4 hours. Ugh.
