Now the right one is getting it as well and is also slightly cracked, i'll have to go back and change them both. Hope i don't have any problems....
Isn't the problem of the taillights getting condensation from the light being torqued too hard during installation? Maybe its the fault of the person putting it in, not the car...?

Yep, a lot of folks who clicked this thread aren't understanding the problem.
The problem isn't with the tail lights themselves... I could take time out of my day each month to constantly replace the tail lights and it won't solve anything. Even after scion installed brand new tail lights, the same problem keeps occuring.. OVER and OVER again.
Put it this way: having the dealership install new tail lights is like putting a band-aid over the real problem.
Once they install the new ones, they work fine for a couple weeks before water collects... then I'm back into the same cycle where I have to get them repaired.
The REAL problem is with the defective body of the car, which allows tail lights to collect condensation. It's pretty clear that there is an inherent design flaw that allows water to seep into the tail lights. I think we have established that at this point.
So I would challenge you folks to step back and analyze the problem within that context. It's very misinformed for folks to come into this thread and say "LOL lemon law over tail lights?". I challenge you to understand that the root problem is the body itself, not the tail lights. I've gone through 3 different sets of lights so far and the problem hasn't gone away.
I know everyone likes to have a knee jerk reaction and not actually think critically, so I feel the need to chime in and set the record straight.
When I put down all my cash, I did not expect that my car would need constant service... but that is kinda where I'm at. It's extremely frustrating to buy a brand new car only to have a constant nagging issue with no end in sight, which is why I'm exploring the lemon laws.
