Brake light problem in '01 LS

I have an annoying problem with my '01 LS. The right rear brake light keeps breaking due to moisture forming in the taillight housing. The moisture drops onto the hot bulb and it breaks. I can find no cracks or breaks in the housing but can see moisture forming in the section that contains the brake light. This has happened 3 times in about 4 months.

I had the same problem. I ended up taking the tail light out with the bulbs in it, plug the 2 vents and sub merging it in water and see where the bubbles are coming from. Turns out that there was a hair line fracture in the casing, inbetween the 2 bulbs (it looked like the casing was a little warped from the heat of the bulbs). I put some black silicone over it. Haven't had a problem since.
