Lightbulb MOISTURE IN THE TAIL LIGHT LENS

Well I did a search but didn't find anything. At the track Saturday we were looking at the tail lamp lens and noticed moisture in both of mine and others. It seems this is a sealed unit and the lens cannot be removed. If so then either the bulb seal or the lens seal must be defective and needs to be replaced. Have any of youall noticed this?

I had the same thing happen to one of mine. Took the truck into the dealer and they replaced both sides.

I had 3 sets changed! The last set I still found some in one but just figured it'll never be right.

Just noticed it in the left one last weekend. It will be changed under warranty and if that doesn't resolve it eventually I'll do what I've done to several of my mustangs. Remove the light (headlights in the mustangs) and drill a small hole in the bottom or back-where it's not visible-so the moisture can evaporate.
