replaced right and left tail lamps twice, center reflector once, all three again showing condensation, took pictures brought to the dealer, they received a reply in less than four hours ? from FORD. here is their reply: The images provided are very small but we only see normal condensation in both tail lamps and the center deflector. Exterior lamps are vented to the atmosphere to accommodate normal changes in pressure. Condensation can be a natural by-produvt of this design. When humid air enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that condensation can occur. This can happen after a vehicle has been driven in the rain, after being washed, or when there is a significant drop in ambient temperature in comparison to normal operating temperature of the lamp after the lamps are turned off. When normal condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can form on the interior of the lamps lens similar to a windshield fogging in cold/rainy conditions. The thin mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal lamp operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions. These conditions are a natural condensation process and not a defect in the manufacturing of the lamp assembly. THANK YOU FORD. Owning cars for over 56 years not once did any of those cars ever have this problem. An engineering marvel from FORD. Once again THANK YOU FORD. So don't drive your car in the rain, wash it or ever have it in an non-ambient temperature.
