Anyone else have taillight condensation? Is it just something you have to live with? No big deal, just wondering. Here’s mine. You can see condensation in the bottom, right corner.

I noticed a bit in my LR the other day. It is normal. Will come and go as the lamp assemblies are vented to atmosphere not sealed.

I noticed a little in the same spot as yours after washing in my driveway. It went away. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Had this issue today. How long does it usually take to go away on its own?

Jacob it is normal, check out page 94 of the manual. Up to 50% of the light being covered in fine condensation is normal. It says usually up to 48 hours before it clears is also normal. No I am not anal, why would you ask that? Doesn't everyone read the 562 page owners manual?

Condensation inside a taillight is normal?

Since when? That's going to be good for the electronics. Good thing they're only $1,000.

Great……..another cheap crappy Ford solution to look forward to.
Here is pictures from my f150 taillights today. The condensation has turned into green mold and mildew. And not any of my other trucks or vehicles have done this. Just Ford.

you should pull the light assembly and see if it is just around the outside of the housing? Might be able to clean it up.

It's that huge pdf that fails to load on your 12" screen and barely searchable.

I had condensation in my left taillamp when out in Colorado. Had just come back from being washed. And temp changes were in play. A day in the bright CO sun and the condensation disappeared. Have not noticed any since

Another justification for me to buy the extended warranty with LED coverage added.
