Does your TL type S taillights fog inside?

I got mine from hondacuraworld.com couple months ago so it is the first winter with these taillights.. and now they start fogging inside. First it was just passenger side so i called Tim@hondacuraworld and he took care of me very nicely BUT its now starting to happen to my driver side as well.. Now my question is this.. Is it normal to have fogs on the "inside" of the "outside" clear cover? I want to make sure if this is just me or its normal to have this before i call Tim and start looking like a pain in da ass to him

That happens when the seal on the inside is not on properly. You might want to adjust it and wait a few days.

Normally its the seal but if not, I would guess it to be normal. Maybe the cold is getting to it. I think your ok just as long as it evaporates and you don't have water sitting on the bottom of the light.

Its funny my type s taillights have never fogged up since I put them in over the summer. But yesterday I noticed the right one had some fog in it. Its between 12-30 degrees here and was just after an ice storm

I had an '05 that I installed Type-S tails on, and now a real '07 Type-S. Both fog the same way. It goes away after a short time. The headlights do the same thing sometimes.

Keep in mind that the internals of automotive lights are not vacuums, therefore the air inside is subject to the same condensation effects as any other. It just happens be especially noticeable because it's lives inside a clear plastic, shiny housing that's full of various reflectors.
