you have a few options. Fumoto, Stahlbus, and Valvomax are the 3 that I looked into. Fumoto I think is the most common, but I was leaning Stahlbus until I found valvomax. All stainless, veteran owned company, and looks like it would be a bit easier to get a small amount of oil if the need arose, but really the all stainless construction was one of the biggest factors for me.

Mine needs a good cleaning, as well.

Condensation is normal. Excessive moisture is not.

States it right in the owner’s manual.

I've never experienced condensation in a tail/head light with an OEM product; the aftermarket stuff, for sure.

Will keep an eye on it but a little leary of it.

The condensation thing has been discussed in several threads on here. I agree that condensation is not okay. It will cause issues over time, say corrosion on metal/electrical parts, and heck, for me, lets say there is condensation in mine, and I decide to drive up to the mountains and it freezes, the ensuing cracks are also normal? Nope, those would be my fault and I'd likely have to pay $700+ for a new housing.

this condensation thing is maddening to me... there’s no way it’s ok for any long term with electronic circuits plus a halogen reverse bulb & socket. just how long is that gonna go without corrosion?

i’m convinced it’s a pressure wash / car wash thing. i checked out how to remove them to change the halogen bulbs & will pop them off & try to give them some sun / heat evaporation.

Did you get a Wrench “See Manual” error light when you did the tire size mod via Forscan? I got a Wrench error light.

I did get the wrench. But using forscan to have the TCM (transmission control module) relearn the vehicle cleared that for me.

However, there is a threshold of how large (in MM) you can input for tire size where the wrench will stay on. A custom tune (ECM/TCM) would fix that.

Also play with the mm tire size there, I found that I only needed to add the size in MM that my new tires added (+12MM for mine) while "under the vehicle's load". My speedometer was spot on with Waze after.

add the difference of the new tire to what is by default in FORScan. What’s there takes in account the weight of the vehicle squishing the tire down! Again why I only added .5” (12MM) to my tire height.

Also, you don’t need to input/mess with the HEX in FORScan. Just go into this and add the new +X MM there. Then go to TCM relearn & clear the DTCs. BAM your good!

If that still throws the wrench but you have accurate speedometer then a custom tune you will need!
