Bring it back to the dealer and have it replaced under warranty if you have one.

Normally it is the tail lights that have condensation problems not driving lights.

I had the dealer replace both my tails

I thought condensation was only an issue with the 13's *(maybe they put old taillights on your 2015?) anyways should be a TSB on it so you should be able to get it warrantied.

25k is your maintenance package. you should have a 36k bumper to bumper warranty.

Dealer. 2hr job to 5hr if they lazy/busy.

Have record of issues in case they later want to deny a claim of some type.
