Default Tri Glide Rear Tail Lights

After I came back from a ride last night I noticed what appeared to be some condensation in the rear tail lights. I decided to take them off for a look see. I was suprised. After removing the bulb there was about an inch of water laying in the bottom each of the tail lights. The part that stays on the bike had two holes in each of them that the wires run through for the lights.

Also just on the other side of the holes there was water, sand, and mud. Has anyone else noticed this problem??

Sounds like the gaskets were not in place correctly or the lens were loose.

Haven't noticed it from the rear lights, but I had one of my front turn signal light lenses fall off while I was shining chrome and it had water in it(ate the reflective backing off of the right one). I also noticed condensation in the front fender light housing (will check that next).
