Default Foggy tail lights?

It has been rainy like crazy for the past few days; however, today was very hot. When I looked at one of my tail lights they were fogged up. I'm guessing some water got inside somehow? Is this normal or should I take it to the dealer to replace them?

take it to the dealer if you didn't damage them. they shouldn't fog up unless you cracked them

I do have some scratches on them, but they aren't deep. I googled it and read that it's normal for tail lights to fog up occasionally because most tail lights have little crevices for air exchange. ???

I have never had a pair of tails fog up on me.

take them back to the dealer, or I will sell you my old set which is sealed up fine

Could be the drastic change in weather. Have they fogged up before the weird weather? If you're still under warranty, just go back to the dealership and see if they will replace.

Yeah, I'm still under warranty. Bought the car two months ago and only have 720 miles on it.
