    Just purchased a 2021 trd tundra and was wondering if water/condesation was normal inside the third brake light around outter edge red portion? Dont see any moisture inside where the bulbs sit.

    Alot of them
    A very small few have discovered that the gasket was missing. The gasket is light gray and is around the bulb housing area. I would remove the lens, dry everything out and put it back together and see what happens. Maybe the screws are loose. Just don't crank down on them and crack the plastic.

    Hard to see exactly on photo, but you can easily unscrew cover remove and check seal.

    Maybe a little silicone GREASE not sealer on gasket will help seal and slow down UV light damage to gasket. 34ford
