I've had my raptor for about 6 months and the taillights get fogged up everyday. Is this normal? And if it's not normal would I be covered under warranty ?
Thanks for any info you guys have on it.

My 2012 does it, and so does my buddies 2012... Unfortunately looks like its a factory feature. Anybody got a fix?

I had a issue with mine but the problem was caused by an internal piece of the taillight (red plastic piece) popping out of place. The plastic hooks were still intact so it didn't break - it just popped loose somehow. There was fogging and over time a small friction mark on the lens from the pieces rubbing. Ford did warranty it.

Mine does the same thing. Keep an eye on that third break light though it will cause you more pain than that.

So it's pretty common among raptor owners I guess... Do normal f-150's have this problem? I think I'm just going to take them off and check that everything is sealed up. I had the Recon taillights for my '10 Tundra but I had multiple problems with them so I'm trying to stay away from their taillights
