And at 400 miles, we have water in the lights somehow?

It snowed last night. I drove with some snow here there and everywhere on the truck and after 150 miles today, I noticed water in the front facing lights on these tow mirrors.

There really should be a sub forum dedicated to issue tracking.

The manual mentions that it's normal to have some condensation on the interior of the headlights so they'll probably say the same for two mirrors as well. It should clear up on it's on.

It wasn't on the driver side, but I guess that side sat in what limited sun we got this morning.

So if it's indeed built like a siv, how do you clean out any dirt that gets in there? This really should be sealed up.

Nothing is ever sealed up. There's always a vent somewhere. Put moisture in the air while it cools down, it's sucking it in. A gortex vent might help, but they're not spending that type of money on anything other than EV batts.

You have a hole. You lost all your blinker fluid. Drive to dealer and ask for blinker fluid.
Lolol. The left side is still empty and the right side is still somehow full of water droplets.

This happened the day after we picked up our F150 back in 2021. After the lights were on for a bit, the heat "burned" off the condensation. I also located pinholes in the various light enclosures that the water vapor most likely escaped from.
