True, but I was thinking it would be covered under the bumper-to-bumper warranty regardless of the TSB limitations. I suppose I could be wrong.

You would hope so but we know some service departments can put up a fight.

Aside from the DIY add a layer of silicon over the OEM tail lights gaskets would switching to better looking tail lights get rid of the condensation issue all together as well?

I haven't had any issues with my car, but if the tails leak I will definitely get Tom's or some other aftermarket tail light. I never have liked the OEM's. The OEM's remind me of the old Nissan altima tails for some reason.

I had it happen once (earlier this year after a lot of snow) but when I mentioned it to the service center they said there had to be some condensation in there for them to address it. I see where they're coming from but it's hard to come in for an intermittent problem (even though I have pictures).
