Grab a screw driver and a hair dryer.

I had a small amount of condensation in my aftermarket Eagle Eyes LED taillights once. Added a little bit of insulation.

Basically moist air is seeping into the light housings and condensing. You can try using a hair dryer remove the condensation and some silicone around the edges to reseal the lamp. Make sure your bulb gaskets are intact as well.
