Default Condensation in 2013 side markers??

This is annoying.. 2013 screw. Today I saw condensation as you will see in the below pictures. Is this normal? Will Ford warranty this? Only have 9k miles on her. I'm pretty sure as time goes on it will only get worse

Yes, this happens, and Ford will say that it's designed to vent. And it usually does.

Mine will do this occasionally, but it does go away. In trucks past, I've drilled a small 1/16" hole in the housing and that seems to dry anything that's stubborn.

It is normal. Even outlined in your manual

If you do this, and it's a drain as well as a vent, you should oblong the hole as small round holes don't drain well.
