I'd suggest maybe taking them off, putting them near a heater for a day or so to make sure they're good and dry. Then take some silicone sealant (like for fish tanks etc.) and put it all along the inside edges where the stock sealant is.
If you've never removed the taillights it's really easy. Just undo the 10 or 12 nuts on the inside of the car, unplug the lightbulbs (behind the flap where the spare tire is) and then unscrew the license plate bracket. The tails should come right out. Good luck.

No offence intended but I wouldn't do that!
plastic lenses, near heat? Naw just remove all of your bulbs, stick an air hose from a compressor in there, and 5 minutes of air shooting through it will dry it out with out having to remove, or damage (via heat) if you have water sitting in them, then remove them dump out excess, and use the air hose. much safer, and relativley quick.
after there dry, change the little foam seals that go on each of the bulbs, one or more of them have probably dry rotted off.

aren't the areas where the bulbs are set in sealed from the other plastic? will the air flow freely? if this wasnt that case then the bulbs would have burnt out and that hasnt happened
