Brake Light Leaking Covered in Condensation

My left brake light has a puddle of water and condensation. I am taking it to the dealer tomorrow.
Anyone else having this problem.

Yes. Just look at the "similar threads" section below for all the info.

Dealership should handle it. Alternatively, you can bake it and reseal it yourself. The choice is yours, and yours alone.

So the dealer is going to order me a new taillight... once they figure out how to do that. They don't have any parts for the BRZ in "the system" yet. I wanted to buy an oil filter and oil, but they didn't know what the filter number was, or the weight of the oil. So I got the PN off the filter on the engine (filter on top FTW), and knew it was 6 qts of 0W20. I asked if there was a crush washer that came with the filter. He said that I should have one but didn't know the part number of that either. I asked them to get the PN of the crush washer too.

One more thing, they are looking up part numbers of these plugs my trunk lid is missing. There are two bolts on either side of the trunk that hold the spoiler on, I assume. On the right side I have two rubber plugs, on the left there are holes that expose the bolts. They are ordering those too.

Awesome, I'll take this to the dealer's parts guy. Should of known FT86club would be better informed than the dealership.
