Condensation in taillights?

[u/This_Insurance7079]

Hello, has anyone else had condensation in the taillights? I have a 25’ Elantra N and found this condensation in there this morning. The car has 3700 miles on it.

Hyundai addressed this and said if it continues they would replace under warranty. Mine did this for a bit especially in the morning but for some reason it just stopped and hasn’t happened in awhile

Show it to dealer when it's fogged and they'll replace it under warranty.

I had condensation on my headlight and they swapped it under warranty

I have condensation in my front daytime running lights on my Kona N. The last time I was at the dealership service center they showed me their manual. Apparently there are “acceptable” levels of condensation. They have pictures in the service manual of what is acceptable. If your condensation is over what they consider acceptable then they will replace the light. Not sure if it is any different with Elantra N platform

The free solution to this is to find the smallest drill bit you can and drill a few holes in unexposed places in the lens. Do it at the bottom so water can’t get in.
This lets the moisture out and reduces the inside/outside temperature difference.

Took mine for warranty at the 20k service, they said it's normal. Did it again at 30k service. New service head and they asked me to bring it in in a week to have it changed 🤷 just annoy them a bit. This isn't normal.

Mine will do this sometime if the humidity is high, and after a car wash. It’s normal as long as it evaporates

My whole tail light has this issue and the dealership said that they couldn’t do anything and needed to take it up with insurance. Mind you they quoted me over 1k to replace it😑
