Any one replace a bulb? If not, take a look anyway. Prob about 90% of the time a head/taillight with condensation, is because the bulb socket is not properly sealed in the light.

I'm not saying that's def what it is...just some food for thought

The tail lights are not sealed. They have vents on the back. Why, I have no idea. This is why moisture gets in.

You are correct, the new taillights and headlights have vents. Moisture is 100% normal
