moisture in clear corners

I washed my car a few days ago and now I am noticing moisture in one of my clear corners. Is there any way to prevent that from happening and what can I do to take out the moisture? Thanks in advance.

dry the lense out then put a bead of silicone around where the bulb goes in so it forms a seal and boom no more condensation

I had the same problem. I didn't put the silocone where the bulb goes in, but instead between the lens and reflector casing. no more condensation

try to stay away from silcone glues they tend to break down and leak.. mine were leaking from the sides where the clear lense meet the silver reflector. i used testors modeling glue where the two join, much cleaner and works great..
