Taillight Condensation

Have any of you guys noticed this before? Right after a carwash or if its early in the morning, I have condensation forming on the inside of both taillights. My car is bone stock, and neither the taillights, bumper, or trunk has been removed or worked on. Is this something that is common on these cars? Should I bring it into the dealership to reseal both taillights? The car is still pretty new, less than a year old.

Saveferris: replaced under warranty? no questions asked? I got the same issue, but the dealer is stating it is normal.

NOT normal. seals are not holding moisture out of lens. the lamps need replacement, (or if you're out of warranty, re-sealed.) alot of cars do this though.

Ive seen Evodave's lights leak. ****ty seals will do that, but never seen OEM lights have any issues. Just take it to the dealer and have them replace the lights.

Usually bad seals. A lot of RX-8 owners have the same problem.

I've also noticed it as well after I wash my car, but it's so minor and I'm not willing to put everything to stock just to have the dealership look at something that small. If it starts affecting the electrical parts then I'll switch everything.
