My Colins didn't come with gaskets so I had to reuse my original shitty stock ones, and they leaked.
Once I started making my own replacement gaskets and sealing them to the housings, it didn't happen again on either the stock lights or the Colins.
My Valentis came with decent gaskets, but I still sealed them to the housings with 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive and they've been fine with zero condensation.

My crystal eye gaskets were good and also sealed to the housings, but one eventually started to have condensation.
Flowing water is very erosive over time (i.e. the Grand canyon).
The constant surge of water flow eventually defeated the gasket goo.
I solved it with snow man snot over the top of the black plastic housing and body of the car to channel water away from getting under the housing and into the gaskets. Methinks the snot will also work on stock tails with no sealer as no water gets to the gaskets.
A permanent fix.
