Anyone else notice condensation forming inside rear lights?? Is this expected to be normal?

I have not noticed in the rear, but I have noticed once , condensation in my LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT.
It Occurred when I washed the vehicle. No occurrances since (even in HEAVY rain storm driving).

I do recall that all the tail and headlight designs do have strategically placed vents to allow the system to 'breathe'.
I decided I had just sprayed the system too aggressively.
I will check my rears next spring.

Actually the three of us had it Blake.
 
The concierge has had me in contact with service manager and dealership. The consensus is that this is not normal behavior and they recommend replacement of the taillight units.
 
Good to know. Thanks for the update Tachy.

Yes I had it at Daytona. odd weather condition. but it went away. Florida has unusual heat , cold and Humidity conditions not found in any other state,, just ask the A/C contractors and engineers,, drives them crazy !

yep ,,
 
To my Florida buddies. Do u think replacing the taillights would be warranted??
 
eliot i don't think its a big deal. Ive only noticed it that time in Daytona and like i said all cars had it.
 
I think it's only in high humidity or rain areas. In the dry states it's probably not a problem.

Florida is humid and sub-tropical. No pun intended, but don’t sweat a little moisture in the tail lights. Store the car in a climate controlled garage. Throw in a dehumidifier for good measure and keep the humidity at about 45-50%.
