Hello, I am posting this picture and looking for anyone who might have encountered the same small issue with moisture in the tail lights of their broncos. I hand washed my bronco and as I was drying the tailgate. I noticed that the driver side tail light had moisture in it and the passenger side didnā€™t? As you would expect I recorded it on my phone and called the dealership. My appointment was a few days later and by this time the moisture had dried up and was clear. I showed the video to the service department manager and he told me that itā€™s a common thing that happens. He mentioned something about the broncos have vents in the tail lights for the release of moisture? So I asked him then why didnā€™t the passenger side have any moisture in it? He didnā€™t have an answer and told me that the next time I wash my truck to drive it immediately to the dealership so they can see it for themselves and not on a video made four days prior. I know this is probably BS. But if anyone has seen or heard of this? Any info would be welcomed. Iā€™ll keep you posted. Thanks šŸ™šŸ½

Thatā€™s no fun! Was there a substantial temp change in the time between rain/sun? Bet itā€™s condensation, not that thatā€™s a good thingā€¦ :(

That usually means you have a crack or the light is not sealed correctly. This usually can be handled with a dealer warranty.

Wrong, this is normal. Plenty of threads on here already about this. Read the manual, up to 50% humidity/condensation coverage inside the light is normal. There are vent holes in lights, the condensation will evaporate.

Yes the same thing happened to my Bronco 4dr Outer Banks. Drivers side after I washed it. The moisture went away in a few hours parked in the sun. Have not noticed it during a rain storm but will watch it closely

My 2019 VW Tiguan had water in one tail light that was literally sloshing around. Dealer replaced. Re the Bronco, a little condensation is typically not an issue from what Iā€™ve heard, but Iā€™d keep an eye on it.

Yeah I took my Mustang in for the same thing and they pointed out and showed me the vent holes at the bottom of the lights and said it is only a concern if it stays there for many days without clearing out.
