Mostlikely the taillight lense has a small crack or the lense has been apart before, only tip I could give you is re-seal it again or replace it for a good one, you could also drill a small 3/8 hole at the bottom of it to let it vent but it will keep happening.

What year is the car , I might have some taillights available in stock

Open it, dry it out and seal it back reallll gooooddd liikkeeeeee. Seriously though, if it has water, it's leaking air in from outside, best bet is to re-seal it under the driest conditions possible. Conversely buy some used lights, or just take the lens off altogether, it actually looks pretty neat.

Render thanks man, I took it apart, took a really hard look at the light, emptied some water build up in the connector section. After I used a hair dryer for a little to dry it up as much as possible, I looked at it some more, made some faces to it and I guess it worked since I put it back it has not build up anymore, even after the few storms this past days. Anyways I will go on Wednesday to Flannigans to see you guys and to introduce the new toy.
