Condensation in side markers

Anyone noticed condensation in their lights? Specifically the side markers. Currently driving an 09 MCS, but had an 04 MCS previously and I don't recall seeing this happen before. Here's a pic of the driver's side, but it happens on the passenger side too.

Pop off the skuttles and take the lens out of the holder or maybe remove the bulb and blow some air in it to dry it out. I don't know if the lens will come off but try that and whether it comes off or not try some silicone around the seal. Must have a crack or broken seal somewhere on the lens.

If you've never removed the skuttles, just open the bonnet, put the palm of your hand over the skuttle and push forward (toward front of car). You'll feel it pop and then just
pull it straight off. Goes on just as easy.
