I have a small amount in one of my rear lights, but only the reversing section. The LED area is perfectly fine and dry.

Happening in both wind lights and the reverse lights in the boot too.
How would one go about resealing them? Or rather what would you use. Had a look today and they look like the come out fairly easy....

My wing-ones had this. You can take them out by removing the 10mm? nuts behind plastic caps. These are located beside the lamp when the boot is open. There are cut-outs with caps in the plastic boot aperture trim.
Be careful not to drop the nuts as they will fall into the bodywork. A magnetic pickup tool is good for the last few threads. You can then remove the lamps , remove covers and dry them in a warm place or maybe top oven while the bottom oven is on minimum. Clean the seal of the covers and mating surface. Apply a tiny smear silicone oil if you like. I put silica gel packs in mine, you can get these from camera shops or ebay. A year ow two later, the boot lid ones are the same but a lot more involved in removing them.

I was getting condensation even on my brand new genuine set of facelift tail.lights when prewashing with jet washer (cold water). I don't think you will ever be able to avoid it tbh. Think, any "singleglazed" material will condensate when temp is different on the inside and outside
