Water droplets in tails
I make too many threads. I installed my ghost tails over the weekend and today it rained HARD. And I was eager to see if I had any condensation....I these water droplets. Is this normal? I SEARCHED and from what I gathered the water droplets are normal for the clear lens because when you have the red lens you can't see them?

I used the ones that came with my depo tails. The right tail has slight condensation on the edge. Everyone is telling me its normal. I really don't like it. Makes the car look bad. Granted you can't even see it unless you look closely but IMO it still does not look right.
I am going to have to rip the bumper off again this weekend I guess. I wish I didn't put the "bolt clip" that rests under the bumper back on. If I didn't this would have been cake to fix. I am going to NOT put those back on the next time though.

No idea what these are. I think they were like that before.

Another thing that sometimes happens (with head lights anyway) is that moist/humid air gets in the lights when they are not sealed. Then, after they are sealed, the temperature changes and you see condensation.

Well I have just one small bubble left on each tail. The condensation+other bubbles are gone. I guess it IS NORMAL. I doubt it will rain again anytime soon. I will most likely reseal the lights next year.
Thanks for the comments!
