condensation in aftermarket tail lights

I have condensation in my tail lights. Anyone have any suggestions what may be done to get it to dry out and prevent it from happening again? Or am I pretty much screwed?

what kind of taillights did you get? And is the condensation is around taillights or is it inside the lens? If it's inside the lens, then you can either try to reseal the lens.

The condensation is inside the lens. I am thinking that maybe I should take them apart and reseal them. However, I'm not sure about how to do it. I have read about putting them in the oven for about 10 min @ 200*. But I have also read that you should just carefully pry the lens off. I have 3rd Generation Altezzas. Also, what kind of RTV should I get?

I had the Altezza - Angel Eye type tails and this happened to me. It wouldn't go away so I ended up calling the company and sending them back. They said this happens frequently...

So tell them and try to get your money back. They should understand because this is a usual problem. The guys at Suncoast told me this happens with probably 2 out of 10 lights, which aren't good odds. And they understood because this even happened to them.

That's my advise.
