400to300H

OK, I don't think it's condensation but rather outright leakage. No evidence of moisture in the trunk or other areas and it's only the outside drivers side. So my question, has anybody attempted to repair? I was thinking removal and silicone all the way around in an attempt to seal it. Perhaps sticking it in the oven at 150 degrees for a little while to dry it out first? Didn't find much in a search so any advise, short of dropping $125 on a fleabay special, would be appreciated.

Is the car still under warranty? If it is, just have the dealer take care of it.

No it's well out of warranty, on my own on this one.

Is a large amount of water collecting inside the lens and is it doing that regularly? Does the water appear to remain inside the lens continuously.

When I had my 2013 ES, after spraying the car with water from the hose and washing the car, I occasionally noticed a small amount of water inside the tail light lens, but it seemed to dissipate quickly, and, during the 3 1/2 years that I had the car, it didn't seem to cause any problems.

I'd consider it a fair amount, large droplets all along the top part of the lens, yes washing the car makes it worst. We've had a couple of months of precipitation so no idea if it will dry out on its own any time prior to June. It's not enough that it's collecting on the bottom of the lens and I'm not thinking it will cause a failure but it looks bad and I have a mild case of OCD when it comes to my vehicles.

It sounds like yours may be a bit worse than was mine. The only time I saw anything was after washing the car, and, within 24 hours, it seemed to disappear on its own.

Thanks for this thread. I'm currently shopping 13/14/15 ES's and will look closely for this. Sorry to hear your Lex is letting you down.
