Default water inside my tail lights !!

There is water in my trd tail lights and I think its causing all the little lights to slowly go out. Is this an error of installation or is this normal. Cause if this is bad installation I would love to complain to toyota about it
Thanks

its not normal.
and u say installation...did you have them installed at the dealer? and if so, have you messed with them at all since? and are you still under warranty?

if you answered yes, no, yes then take it back to the dealer. haha

If you answered yellowxhoodie's questions and regardless of the first two answers but the last question was no...

1 Go to home depot or lowes,
2 buy yourself some clear silicone sealant,
3 go home,
4 pull your rear bumper off,
5 take the tail light out that is causing the issue,
6 find the leak
7 use the sealant to reseal it.

Don't try to blindly reseal it without knowing where the water is getting in from, if you guess wrong you'll have to pull it all back out and reseal it again lol so do it right.

the problem with doing that^

is that there will still be alot of moisture in there, and unlike the headlights, the tailights cannot be baked apart.

True and to seal them with moisture would be cause for a nice foggy tail light
