no, you just need new gaskets.

dont drill holes in them. people will tell you to do it. it doesn't work.

yes, you need new taillights. if you are within warranty, you can get them replaced at the dealer

seriously, no offense even if you are 16, search! Your other threads can be found by doing a simple search. Seriously if you make a thread of a milky or some retarded substance that's on your dipstick, people will seriously start to kill you...

BTW, the milky substance is normal for this car so if anything tells you there is something wrong, ignore them because it's fine.

If still under warranty then take it to a mazda dealer.
They will fix it by either replacing the gasket or the tail light. Most likely they will replace the gasket, less expensive.
They will remove the tail light, dry it out ( that will take some time), replace the gasket and the re install the tail light.

Go to http://www.finishlineperformance.com....php?pageid=11

http://www.finishlineperformance.com...05-09-2055.pdf
and print the second link ie pdf out the water in the tail light TSB.
Take it to the dealer so the dealer will know what you are talking about.

NOTE:
This bulletin supersedes the previous bulletin 09-014/07, issued 4/13/2007. The DESCRPITION, REPAIR
PROCEDURE, PART(S) INFORMATION and WARRANTY INFORMATION sections have been revised.
• Changes are noted below in Red beside the change bar.



Do not drill holes.

No need to search since you sound like a LMF BrotherHood member.( MemberShip currently closed to new members! ) Largest BrotherHood Club in the World!

Searching thread titles only;
Here are 29 other threads about it.
I used 'condensation' as the search word
https://www.rx8club.com/search.php?searchid=4574606

If you use 'water in lights' as the search words, you get these 4
https://www.rx8club.com/search.php?searchid=4574617

If you just search for 'tail lights' you will get 85 threads, mostly about water in the tail lights.
