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.

Actually the problem is not with the lenses or the body the problem is with the foam rubber gasket between the lense & body. The nuts that hold the taillight lense to the body are being over tightened from the factory which pinches the gasket making points of entry for moisture.
To op when the dealer replaced your taillamps did they also replace the gaskets?? SU003-04315 & SU003-02586 that should correct the problem.
