Tail Light Water Condensation

Tail Light Water Condensation
I been having a decent amount of water condensation in my Passenger tail light for almost a month if not longer. I removed the tail light once and didn't see any noticeable cracks or minor holes of some sort. Every time I wash my car I see some runs of water going down the inside of the taillight. Even though I see the runs, I never see a build up of water inside on the bottom or anywhere in the tail light. I don't know If it's a crack or just condensation. What should I do to resolve this? I hear they have machines that can take out water condensation. I might try this first but can it maybe be an unfix-able issue?

I removed the lamps and dried it up with a hair dryer. Then I applied some silicone to the edges just in case. Yesterday I looked at the lamp after a day outside and It seems to still have this condensation. It looks like the water is coming from the top of the tail lamp. I can't tell If its condensation or a leak. I will wash the car tomorrow and see if the condensation gets worse or not. Should I try something else to repair before I buy another tail light?

Most of the time it's the little grommet around one of the light bulbs that gets old and starts letting water in. Check/replace that first. Our turn signals are not LEDs.
I wouldn't replace the whole thing. Just apply some clear silicone around the whole thing to seal it up. Just keep in mind that silicone shrinks a little when it dries so you might have to do it more than once.
