Did you bring this to your dealer? I have the same problem but the condensation will disappeared after the car is not in use for a couple of hours.

I'm pretty sure fogging issue can't be warrantied. Because the lights, both front and back are not sealed units. With time (heat from sun, drier ambient air, etc) the fogging will go away.
I gotta find the post where that was mentioned.

correct..

now if you have a small lake in your light... that is a problem.

But even when I bring a car from inside the shop, out to the parking lot the lights go a little foggy for a bit.

So, is this normal or have problem with the taillights? Condensation appears always at the corner side of both taillights.

Mine too. Previous vehicles have been the same though so it doesn't concern me much.
