do what i did, drill three small holes underneath the light (of course after removing the light) and put it back.

all is well.

Mazda should still honor this. Its a defect and is under a recall. Go get you a pair of new tail lights.

So will Mazda replace for free or am I going have to drill?

If your bumper to bumper warranty is up, and yours should be on an 05 you will have to fix it yourself. There isn't any recall for tail light condensation. The drilling method will be the easiest, but you can get the parts mentioned in the TSB and do it yourself.
