HAD ALL LAMPS REPLACED FOR MOISTURE UNDER WARRANTY
even on my towncar.... get it done,

I haven't seen the official TSB on it...but it DOES exist. In fact, you get replacement with a completely new (as in part#/manufacturer) assembly. I think I'll wait till 35,999 miles then get it done.
My dealer just ordered new ones for my car today, no questions asked! The new ones will probably have the same problem. Gotta love warranties.
yep, and will keep reordering them until it gets fixed!!! I have the LOOOONG warranty

No TSB but Special Service Message 16997 declares updated part numbers 3W3Z-13008-BC (Rt side) and 3W3Z-13008-BD(Left) for Marauders w/moisture problems.

I keep mine garaged as well, but noticed last night after it was sitting outside for about 3 hours that the inside of the headlights had moisture inside
Had mine replaced about 2 months ago. Need to make a return trip because the new ones aren't aimed correctly. Oh well, maybe I'll just fix it myself.

I have an early 300A. My headlights are fogging after I give it a bath. Since I work at Ford I just ordered a new set and told service when they would be in. I noticed that the new ones have a much better seal where the bulb goes in and more venting. I will take pics of the new ones and the old ones so we can see the changes.

Add mine to the list, same as EbonyMarauder03 above, they fogged up when washing it. I have well water that is very cold and they fogged over completely, almost white they fogged so badly.

Saw condensation one night after a few months of ownership. Took it to dealer. Service writer immediately okayed warranty replacement. Part came in. I took too long to get back to dealer. Part was returned to Ford. Went to dealer again to try to get part ordered again. Service writer took a digital photo (no condensation visible--it was daytime) and sent request to Ford. Ford denied the warranty repair. I will take the Ford bulletin post print out when the new part has filled the distribution chain and try again.

Mine have ugly streaks and spots on the inside of the lens due to the moisture drying inside the assembly. It's really quite nasty... really gets on my nerves when the rest of the car is spotless.
