Rear brake lights (left & right) show heavy condensation that could potentially result in lights wearing out early or cloud vision of motorists driving behind me. there is probably a potential seal issue or leakage in the light assembly that leads to this. showed it to dealer and got a quote of ~$900 to repair/replace. also, the liftgate seal might be broken or leaking as notice dampness or small water accumulation in trunk after rain.
