take the tail light off and reseal the gasket. I think you can get some at autozone and its made by 3m.

You can take a desicant packet and put it on a stick or string and leave it overnight. That will remove current moisture, but not fix the problem.

I had that happen to me. I baked the light at 225 degrees in my oven for a few minutes and the water disappeared. I then sealed the outer joint all around the light fixture with ultra black gasket sealer. The leak has not returned, for extra insurance I replaced the two foam gaskets on both light fixtures a while later but there was no sign of leakage once I sealed up the light.
