Default Caliber Light Retaining Water

My Caliber's left rear light housing was retaining water. I removed the light housing and drilled a few small holes on the base, which are out of site. I also put silicone caulking on the inside of it to prevent condensation.

I would have done the same thing, until I was able to replace the lens assy. It maybe just a bad seal around the lens.

It definitely is. I turned it upside down and the water was coming out of the top corner (I think the top left corner)... I just sealed the entire thing. It should do the trick. I filled it up with water to test the holes, they work great. I noticed one of the bulbs was burned out back there too, two birds with one stone.
