After I parked my car tonight, I noticed water was condensing inside the lens of my tail light. It's not a lot but I'd say the condensation fog covers up half of the area on the angled piece on the top of side marker area. Certainly doesn't seem normal because it has been bone dry in my area for the last week. I've never replaced the bulbs in my drivers tail light so it certainly seems like a factory issue.

If it continues, is this something that Nissan will replace under warranty? Has anyone else seen any condensation issues in their lights?

I think the third post down in this thread will help: Condensation In Headlight

Please check with following service bulletin because it is may be normal. New Headlights/Taillights do not come sealed completely anymore due to the heat of the bulbs:

That's actually a pretty good scan of the bulletin. Thanks for the added info.

Normal, I do not see any water "pooling up" in the headlight.

Definitely not normal. Was this from washing your your Rogue, rain, or humidity? Looks like the seals around your headlight housing have opened up a little is my guess. I don't see this on my Rogue at all.

Well got it serviced, so it was washed by dealer, plus raining on the way home and noticed them like that

very common and normal, to a degree. i'd certainly have the dealer notate it, and keep an eye on it. because enough moisture and it turns to drop-lets; and that will cause corrosion on led boards, and or fry out the ballast. i had that.
