Default rear taillights

For some reason, my rear taillights, the brakes and reverse lights get all fogged up in side like theres moisture in the case. I already pulled it apart, dried everything up and put grease on the seals between the light holder and the actual housing. And it still is doing it. It doesn't short out the bulb or anything it just looks really dumb.

That means it is just time to replace them with LED's. If anyone on this sitehas replaced theirs, please tell what you went with, and pics. My next mods are head, tail, brake lights, maybe turn signals also if they are out there, off road lights behind the grill, rear traction bars, rear air bags (not sure which company here either)(I would like to keep my ride quality the way it is). and thats about it.....for this year.

Those are my next mods besides, the traction bars and air bags. my wife just doesn't know it yet. I read the Modaholic post, and am not ready to join the club, maybe I am in denial. further down the road are upgrades to the shocks, strengthen the rack and pinion steering, and front/rear bumpers with winches both ways, oh and 15" MT wheels instead of my 17's.
