So... Second day of rain for the BRZ today and I'm sad to report that there's condensation in my passenger tail light assembly too...

As well as the LED DRL assembly...

Just called local Subaru; and the service man said unless there is a pool of water inside... It is considered "normal" Hmm...

Mine had the condensation the day I bought it.

Please stop changing your font, it makes it harder to read.

But for the first tail light it was only a week and they said it was one backorder. The second tail light took a couple days longer because I also got the new fuel injector parts.

Hi Guys,

I experienced this problem in my tail lights when its cold weather or it's rained... After I used the car and parked to our office... The condensation was gone. It's this normal?

RWD-boxer · 10-17-2012, 10:02 PM

My tail light is bad 7k

FRiSson · 10-17-2012, 11:54 PM

Mine have condensation. It comes and go. Told the dealer. They told me they knew about the issue, but that there was no TSB yet. However, they expect a TSB to be issued. If I replaced them now that it would be the same part. So they couldn't recommend it.

Getting my passenger taillight replaced for the second time, so im gonna be at 3 new taillights total with 9k on the odo (drivers side already replaced) this is the main reason i havent modified my lights yet, i dont want the dealer to have any excuses for not replacing it...
