when and if it dry's take it off and reseal it with silicon, let it dry then put it back in. That sould fix it unless you have a crack some where else.

BACK ON TOPIC!!

I had condensation in mine as well (actually a crap load of water)

Just take out the 2 lights and plug one with a towel. Then grab a hair dryer and let it sit blowing in the hole until all the water is gone. Quicker than taking the lights out!

And as mine turned out I just had a bunch of water in there from something.. Hasn't retunred since!

Good Luck.

Similar technique as the drying.. Plug one hole up and get a good vaccumm to suck that crap outta there. Either that or unplug the hole and put the vaccuum to BLOW mode. And shoot it out the other end.
