My warranty is still good and neither of the dealers would do anything for me even though there is a TSB issued...

So where are those holes drilled? Promised pictures never made it....I just bought a used 2000 gs300 and have condensation after I wash the car....that means probably after rain as well...(I don't know that yet...)

As a desperate attempt I found some vent plugs..(rubber "u" looking thing with foam in it...) The foam inside was dirty so i washed them and will reinstall....I am thinking that water can't evaporate through the dirty foam.

Kind of annoyed.....If this really is normal I don't see buying new lights as a fix....

Update on the vent plug rubber U shaped piece foam clean....It seems to have helped a little...although there is still condensation...It seems to have cleared the light faster this car wash.

yeah, condensation on the drivers, the dealer said they would fix for me but stated it was just scuffed, but once the warranty was out and I showed them condensation, the said "oops, out of warranty"...
