Tail Light Moisture Condensation 2019-2024


Recommended Posts

I occasionally get moisture inside of my passenger side inner tail light. This tail light only has reverse LEDs. I have read the other posts about moisture in the 2015-2018 tail lights, but I haven’t heard of 2019-2024 condensation.

 

Has anyone experienced condensation like this? Should I try to take apart the tail light to get rid of the moisture before my LEDs get killed? The tail light prices seem expensive. $200-400 USD.

My 2024 Edge St has/had the same thing in the driver's side rear light assy. Seems most of it has gone away, but I will check it and give an update. Other than cosmetic I don't think it would hurt the LEDS. I have heard of people drilling a small hole in the base of the light, but I don't know if that is a good strategy.

@Wubster100: Your Edge might qualify for a warranty replacement.

Thanks for the service bulletin information. I don't think I have any warranty left. It is a 2021 with 68,000 miles. Right now the condensation went away. I have never seen condensation in any of my other lights. It just occasionally happens to that one. I will have to keep watching it and see what happens.
