Remove the complete tail light and get the foam gasket to dry out. I used a hair dryer on mine. Also use paper towels to remove the condensation out of the lenses. Best of luck man.

I had that happen on one of my lights. I put it in the oven at 200 degrees, the moisture disappeared and I put sealant along the entire seam around the fixture where the clear plexiglass meets the rear housing. That seemed to do the job and it has been good for 3 years or more. I have also replaced the foam gaskets, not sure if that is part of the issue or not, but I thought it was worth doing since my factory ones were old and getting hard.

The gaskets are 20 quid per side from Honda.
