Condensation in my tail lights
#2
Check for cracks or take the tail lights out and see if all rubber connections are on - and tight.
I replaced me left tail light recently as it suddenly showed condensation. Almost impossible to see the little crack but that was the case for me.

I bought my car from out of state, and when it arrived, it had condensation in the tailights and in the reflector strip that spans between the tailights. I asked my local Porsche dealer about it, and was told that it's normal for the condensation to show up in the taillights and it would go away. And it did, within a week. The reflector strip on the other hand, had to be replaced, since they said there shouldn't be condensation behind it. So, you might be ok.

surfer2001,
Same here. Its rained a lot lately and went to wash the car. I noticed that the back-up lens had condensation in both lights. The car is a little over a year old. Seems like prolong condensation would cause corrosion and early failure of the light. I recall having one replaced in the first few weeks of owning the car for an intermittent failure. I wonder if there is a vent for the light and this is normal/by design? I looked around and couldn't find anything that referenced a vent/breather. On the list to discuss with dealer on next service interval.

Do you still have CPO? I had both of mine (.2s) swapped under CPO for condensation. The "Ambassador" tried to give me the "it's normal" spiel. I insisted they bring out the the master tech and he said "definitely not normal". Porsche had them ordered and replaced.
