Just a crappy or old seal around the housing. Could try opening it a little and drying it out with a blow dryer or in the sun.

reseal it with black silicon adhesive sealent or something like that...most likely theres a crack or the seal has a hole somewhere..do the seal all over again

This happened to my 94 GSR.

First try drying them out real well. If the condensation comes back try buying new taillight gaskets from http://www.ahmotor.com. And then make sure you screw everything back in TIGHT!

Should do the trick.

Now I just have to get water out of my headlights.
