Take it off and turn it upside down and then let it sit for a while to dry out. The seal around the lens is probably leaking. You will have to reseal it. Get some silicone sealer and go over where the lens meets the lamp.

yea guys with this problem, u gotta take out the taillamp and drain the water, let it completely dry and then reseal it with sum silicone, glue, whalesperm, whatever, its got a hole in the seal somewhere that needs to be fixed. if u are unsure where the hole is, pour water in the light and turn it till u see water dripping out of it. dun deal
