Take the light inside the house, hair dry the insides to ensure NO MOISTURE, then RTV the any space that allows air in, light bubs are a good place to start.
Let set for atleast 24 hours before putting it on the car.
Worse comes to worse, if its truely sealed, dunk it in a bathtub and see if any water is getting in.

Drill holes in the bottom of the housing. No matter what you try, you aint gonna keep all the water out. Give it a place to vent/drain, so that way it doesnt eat away at the reflective stuff in the housing.

What I did with my turn signal housings on the front I took them off and sealed up all the holes and then blew into it through the bulb hole to see where the air was coming out of. Put in sealant until air wouldn't escape anymore.

Did anyone ever have any luck with permanately keeping the moisture out? I had that problem with my passenger tail light years ago and I tried everything with no luck. I ended up just replacing it.
