Default Help, water vapor in tail light.

I recently swaped my old lt1 tail lights for some honeycomb ones, and I noticed tonight that in the reverse light section on the drivers side only, there is some water stuck on the inside. Is there any way to get it out? Thanks.

Thanks. Will I be able to find a new gasket at my local parts store or do I have to take a trip to the dealership?

Is there any way that you can show me where exactly you drilled the holes.
