Default Condensation in tail light

Any ideas on what could cause this and possible fixes? It is real noticeable in the backup light and is starting to build up in the tail light itself. This is only happening on one of the lights.

well you could take the light and on the bottom of the light drill 2 small holes on each end. it wont fix it completely but it helps a lot. use a very very small bit and try to put the holes where you cant see them on the bottom

take light out, shake as much as possible out, use hair dryer. . .
then replace foamy gasket on bulb. . .
Roughly an hour per, accounting for about 30 minutes with dryer each and 30 minutes cooling off each before reinstall. . .otherwise you've trapped moisture in there again. . .
