Tail light issues

Don't know if I'm just being pickyor if you guys think this is a legitimate issue. When washing my wife's 16' GS I noticed what appears to be water spots inside the tail light lens. I attached pictures, is this something I should bring to the attention of the dealership? Car has about 650 miles on it.

Thats not normal at all. If it does not wipe off then water is going inside or there is a opening causing condensation and it dries up and water marks appear.

Definitely let the dealer know so they can replace it under warranty. Looks like a seal is failing somewhere.

Not normal, take it in under warranty and have them replaced.

is it me or is your tail light not flushed with body panels/bumpers? could be a reason why you're having condensation issue.. i feels.

Ok looks like I'll have to bring it to their attention and get them swapped out. Both sides got the same issue in about the same area kind of weird. As far as figment goes, it must be the picture because they line up flush to the panels. Anyone else heard of this with the 16' and newer tail lights?

Use your finger and tap on the corners of the light, if you notice a slight rattle or a sound like somethings loose you need to tighten the nuts a little bit more. On my 13' lights the nuts were practicly loose and could be twisted off with my fingers without any effort.
