Yes, but it is easy to fix. Just take out the bulb socket so you can get into the area where the condensation is... then just let it sit out, or use a hair dryer to evaporate it... once it is gone, just put the bulb sockets back in.

But that's not going to prevent it from coming back. You could either a) use some liquid silicone to seal the space that's letting moisture get in, or b) and I just heard this, don't know if it works or not, but I heard you could drill a small hole in the bottom of the light and let the moisture drain out. I don't know about that one though.

That might help get it out but I think it could come back in easier as well.

an easy solution to this, is a trick my uncle taught me...since oil and water don't mix, just apply a thin layer of grease to the places where moisture could get in...only problem with this is that you would have to reapply if the grease ever came off...

Take it off and put it in the oven for a few mins, the epoxy will heat up and become soft, then make sure its all pressed together ok, that could reseal it. Failing that reseal the whole thing
