Occasionally a bit of fogging happens on my MY 2013 as well, then it goes. Same with fronts, too. I am sure my old '07 plate lights did it as well. Seems normal unless it stays. 2016 BMW X3 30d SE in red

[quote="Past master"]Mine has done it once, when it was parked in the sun. The handbook mentions fogging in the headlamps, but not the rear lights. I think it's something to keep an eye on and query at next service. If it clears, then it's probably OK. If it's there all the time there must be a problem.[/quote

Looks like we have our own club! Noticed condensation this morning, on the inside of both rear light covers, after a frosty night. However, there was nothing on the lenses. All clear after day warmed up a bit. 2007 SE Manual : Gone and missed but 2013 HSE Lux is better!

I have noticed it on my MY 13, especially when the sun is on it. I don't recall it being a problem on my MY 07. One rear light cluster was changed on that car under warranty due to moisture at a service without me even mentioning it.
