Condensation in rear lights
Ok so noticing in this cold snap that the rear cluster has condensation, guessing will clear but with LED lights the heat is not there old bulbs used to have that helped
Keeping record over the next few months and will see dealers with the evidence and see.

Ours was the same when we seen it today, picking up Wednesday. Saleswoman said it’s because it has been sitting a while. Not believing that for a second.

The light condensation is mentioned in the hand book. It’s quite normal with LED lights due to lack of heat generated. Hence the little holes at the bottom.
If it starts to puddle, first check the holes are not blocked. If not then get it to the dealership to sort.

I wasn’t aware of the holes on the lights front back, any pointers so can blow some air duster through them to help keep them clean

Just bought a 21 plate st line and noticed condensation in both rear light cluster. Went back to dealer this morning and all 5 other pumas in car park were the same . Service dept said nothing to worry about and Ford recommended it would disappear after the lights were on for 40 minutes. Also noticed Kuga had the same issue weird that I’ve not noticed this on other new cars.
Had it on a Vauxhall Mokka but it had halogen bulbs so the condensation disappeared quickly. Sometimes see it on my Vignale but it's not a problem.

I also have condensation in both my rear lights, I've just ignored it, since I took delivery of it in October. But, its going to go back to the dealership as I have the most annoying buzzing and vibrating coming from the passenger front door when playing music, if you press hard on the door panel it stops..so, when I book it in I'll mention the condensation, I also have issues with the parcel shelf, the plastic trim on the actual frame of the shelf keeps separating and dropping into the boot area...I've only had the car 5 months and I am beginning to doubt the build quality.....
