Hey,
I have a 2012 VZ SSV and have condensation in my brake lights.
Does anyone know what could be the cause and possibly how to fix?
Thank you :)

The sealant/glue holding the lens onto the base can crack/break allowing water in. Had that issue with my LH taillight on my SSV. Got some silicone sealant and ran it around the lens edge where it seals into the base part and fixed it.

Yep, best to replace it with another one. Or get a new set (so they match.)

I just drilled a couple of small 1.5mm holes into the bottom of mine and no more condensation issues
Well. Not since the lake incident, that is.
