Moisture invading my side lights!

Of course, this is under warranty, but any clue how moisture would start to form in my side marker turn signal lights? It looks terrible!

I'd like to change these bulbs out to a silver bulb/crystal ion that glows amber... any recommendations?

It is just a bad seal on the bulb housing. I had my passenger side rear light assembly have a 1/4" of standing water. The dealer replaced it and said that it was somewhat common on the 03's.

Same thing with my '04. Every time I washed Jack, he would get water in the right side tail light. Dealer replaced entire lamp assembly under warranty.
