Left was fixed under warranty but 3 years later it's starting to condensate again.
I fixed the right one with a silicon based gasket maker. 2 years later, no moisture in that one.
Take the light out.
Take it apart.
I used a shop vac on reverse to suck moisture out.
Then ran a bead of gasket maker around Mazda's shitty gasket that looked like it was made of paper- machete and reassembled. Fixed.

it took less time than waiting for the dealer to call back... as what "Kaiser bun" would do!

I drilled like 4 tiny holes on the bottom of each taillight. When it rains they still fill about 1/2 inch with water, then the water will drain within 30 minutes after the rain stops, then it takes about 6-12 hours before the rest of the fog/condensation goes away.
Yup, free way to fix it if you can live with water for half a day each time it rains.
