Type S taillight condensation?

I just bought and installed a set from Lynnwood Acura and I just looked at the lights with some sun hitting them straight on and I see condensation in both lights??

This can't be normal can it??

Anyone else with type s tails notice this.

Thanks

depending where you see it, it may be normal. I read in the acura newsletter that if you see it through the clear part it may be condensation between the back of the lens and the body panel. I've noticed this on my 07 tl-s at the edges
