Default Condensation in parking lights

I just got my z on 10/11 and while I was applying my zaino I noticed that there is condensation inside the parking lights/turn signals. :sad: I noticed it about a day after I got the car and it has remained there eversince. Every time I check the lights day or night there still is condensation on the inside. Anyone have any ideas on how to correct this. Why is it always there? Should I have the dealer replace the assembly?

I would definately have the dealer fix the problem, sounds like the seals
are leaking.

Hello maybe I can help you.I had the same problem on my 01 coupe.The dealer gladly replaced them under warrenty.I got the car back and the lights got condensation in them again.The dealer was unaware of a bulletin or a revised part for this.My advice to you is: if your dealer can assure you of the fix do it.If not don't.It was a complete waste of my time.Greg :bs

The Z remains in the garage at all times when it is not being driven or washed. The condensation does vary through out the day, sometimes there is a lot and sometimes there is just a little bit, but it is always there.

Joe, that's really weird...usually condensation occurs from leaving it outside. The dealer should be able to replace the seals...just watch them carefully.
