It's a common occurrence and nothing to worry about, other than aesthetics, happens with other makes too.

LED lamps dont generate as much heat, so the air inside never dry out Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis |

How about some desiccant in the units? |

It would help initially, however, once full the desiccant will release moisture and your back to square one. |

The only place I can see moisture possibly getting into the light units is through the Fog, indicator and reversing light bulb holders, the seals don't seem that good, especially as they are located behind the rear wheel arch! and not inside the boot like most cars. Maybe some sort of silicon around them might work. Need to make sure the lights are totally free of any moisture first though.
