Condensation in rear lights .. is there a fix ?

Update
Hi all,
It took me a while to do this and then also test.. This weekend was a perfect test with dreadful Saturday weather and rain.
I have put a clear silicone bead all around the outer edges of the light units where the coloured section meets the body. The welds look like the could easily fatigue and suffer from capillary action with water ingest as it sits in this channel around the lights.
I masked the edges to get a cleaner line for the silicone as you will see.
Conclusion. it worked! The condensation is MUCH better.. One has none, the other as a little.. I need to see if this is the one that I drilled vent holes into.
Progress!!
