not sure if this is the correct place to post it but its on the exterior of the car, and a pain to look at when i see the rest of my car clean and shining.

the left tail light has moisture in it. is there any way to get rid of the moisture and prevent it from happening again or do i need a new pair of lights?

Take the tails off and closely inspect for any cracks or breaks in the weatherstripping

You can usually dry the moisture using a hair dryer and then if the problem area isn't too bad you can seal with clear silicon

When we first got my wife's explorer one side had bad condensation, dealer said they fixed it and when we took delivery it was dry, within month it was back again. Turns out the idiots put in a new light but left the retainers loose. All I did was dry it out and tighten them down, problem fixed.
