Maybe try removing the bulbs and put a hair blow dryer at it. That might warm up the water molecule and cause it to evaporate. I don't know how a spider work its way into my passenger side tail light, but now it dead

I don't know how to help you but atleast you don't have a spider web inside your tail light with a dead spider in it...

I had the same problem with my passenger side taillight. I found that water creeps from under the taillight even from soapy/bubbly water when gentle washing (no direct spraying). No more problem after I put silicone sealant all around.

I drilled a hole from the top to clean the dried water at the bottom (with a wire hanger and pieces of cloth at the end) then sealed the hole when I was done.
