I had moisture build up after washing and a rain storm when i bought my 8 , i decided to pull the bulbs and tail liht out witch is very easy 2 bolts i think . after it air dried , i retightend the bolts and what would you no ........ no more condinsation build up since.
JUST TIGHTEN THE 2 BOLTS A LITTLE BIT ON YOUR TAIL LIGHTS...... before going to the dealer for a replacement, unless you got some bad scratches ~_*.
I have had alot of heavy storms in ATL since i retighten the tail light , and washed the car well over 20 times since, no build up on condinsation
