Moisture in rear light. Is it warranty

Hi, My car is still under Land Rover official warranty till August. I have noticed that one of the rear light clusters has developed some moisture on the inside. Do you think warranty would cover this? Current - 2014 Range Rover Sport HSE SDV6
Gone - 2017 Audi A8 Sport
Gone - 2007 Range Rover Sport HSE TDV8 - Great car.

It's not unusual to have some condensation in a light unit now and then. Does it disappear or is it constant for days/weeks? The light units have breathers on them to allow for temperature changes etc., so you can get a bit of moisture in them. In my experience it goes away over time. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I gave mine a wash today, condensation in the rear clusters which had gone by the time I'd finished wiping it over with quick detailer. My old D3 was exactly the same. Providing it clears itself I wouldn't worry about it (from memory there is something about it in the handbook).

Not sure about the RRS2, but it is certainly mentioned in the RRS1 owners manual under exterior lights, only mentions h/lamps but would assume refers to rear lights as well.

Hi,
mine had condensation consistently in 1 rear light and it was replaced under the 3Y manufacturers warranty,
which is Not the same as the Approved warranty with used, over 3 year old cars Shocked
so they might not cover them ?

My 2015 has condensation in rear light and dealer said its normal and wouldn't change it under the 12 month extended warranty. Was thinking about purchasing the after market sweeping indicator ones as the condensation annoys me.

I do have this problem as well. Does it also appear with aftermarket tail lights?
