Definitely not normal. Mine are over 2 years old. No condensation whatsoever but a few rock chips that have cracked the lens; still operational though.

I'd call Rigid and let them know about it.

So i did that and they said it is normal as long as there's no water inside lens.

That's weird. I'd imagine with the price you pay for Rigid (and I'm a dealer) you would not get condensation. I sell a cheaper chinese light bar that has the bleeder/evaporator valve to prevent condensation. I'd imagine Rigid had these on the D2 series lights... go figure.

Haaa. My EXACT thought. Wtf.... didn't I pay for top quality and then this. I might add, they have only been installed on the Jeep for 12 days.

Yea. In their email response they said no power washing. For the record these have NEVER been power washed.

I can' t think of any lenses of any type of light that condensation is okay. I would try and get them to send you a new one.
