What would you have done? (Tail light condensation question) - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Mr.Bobbino · 01-13-2013, 12:02 AM

Today I took my FR-S to get the chirping fixed at the dealer. Since I had a lot of time to burn, I decided to walk around and look at the other FR-S' on the lot. I notice 2 out of the 5 cars had condensation in their tail lights (both sides too). I was debating on telling the dealer about it, but I wasn't sure if it was my place to do so. The thing is, I know that who ever buys those two cars will eventually notice the condensation and it will bug the hell out of them. So I ask, what would you have done, fellow drivers?

I would just tell the dealers, they probably will have to have it replaced eventually. Plus, if I was buying the car I wouldn't pick the one with condensation.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Send them an email saying you saw the condensation in the taillights. They'll probably just order new ones for those cars.

I got my car through a dealer-trade, so I bought the car before I actually saw it. I know I would be pissed if my car arrived with messed up taillights.
