There is a TBS on this. You need to get a rear light gasket. It's like 30 bucks plus 30 minutes labour if you car is outside of warranty. If you are outside of warranty perhaps you can buy the part and fix it yourself. I'm sure it's not that hard.

One of my HID lights has condensation as well. It is still under warranty so time to get it fixed.
