I have never had a car that has this problem. Headlights with holes for pressure/heat dissipation yes n the old days of halogen. But rear lights, all led needing this and suffering this problem as a result, I don't find acceptable.

I’ve washed my car 3 times and not had condensation on rear lights but I’ve had my handbrake ping as if the brakes not releasing when I reverse out the driveway. It only started doing it this week so will have to visit the dealership after the weekend to see what’s up.
Still loving the car 🚘 tho !!!

Not ideal. How long's it been like that? Did you jet wash? I've had light condensation (like you'd draw a smiley face in) but not bubbles.

Looks like mine ............(same color too )

With my car it comes after a cold night , when the sun is warming it.

So just on the side where the sun is on
