If you are out of warranty, they may not do it......but some will.
If not, then go do an advance search on "water in the tail lights", there are some fixes that you might do yourself, but they involve pulling the lights and resealing with a new gasket.

I have cars that were drilled 20 years ago, no problems. They do not retain moisture, and drain if moisture builds at any time. They must be either perfectly sealed, or must have air hole...nothing in between works to well.

I tried drilling holes in mine, since my car was well out of warranty. They still fogged up quickly anytime it rained or I washed the car, even if the car had not yet been run that day.
Later I removed the tails, sealed the holes I drilled, and also applied a thin coat of sealant to each side of each gasket. Since then I have not had so much as a hint of condensation in the lights, for months.
Buying the new gaskets would probably accomplish the same thing, but the gaskets would probably fail again within a few months (much as they did on the actual cars when they were fairly new). Given the cost of the gaskets is higher than the cost of a tube of sealant (which we probably already have laying around) I figure it is just as well to seal them that way, and even if I have to do it again in another year or 2 I will still come out ahead.
