Default Moisture in 2020 Equinox Tail Lights

I just purchased a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox 3 days ago. There are approximately 9,000 miles on the vehicle. I have noticed there is moisture inside of both of the tail lights. Is this covered under warranty?

I mentioned it to the dealership I purchased the car at and they gave me a discount on the car but did not repair or replace the issue. I have tried calling local dealerships and keep getting told I will get a call back about this matter, but so far no one can confirm if this is a warrantied issue.

GLAD YOU ASKED !!!

For years I was threatened by (foreign i'll say) website posts that to keep moisture out it used "a good seal on back of bulb jack" and a little metal thing behind bulb to evaporate. These pages threaten if you drill holes that you'll have to replace the whole housing.

I LATER FOUND OUT THAT WAS ALL A (foreign) LIE.

#1 it leaks because they used FAKE GLUE on the seam of the plastic headlight housing. the water comes in FROM THE TOP

#2 IN CANCEL CULTURE - i decided: hey they lie so much, i'll just ignore them

DRILL BABY DRILL.

I drilled holes in the bottom of the housing

I haven't had wet enclosure or fogged lights since

DRILL BABY DRILL.

obviously demand the dealer replace the lamps. the china glue already failed

they shouldn't start leaking until the day after warrantee
