Lots of reports of insects getting into the tail light there were a few aout flies in there...
Sure its sealed? What about the part where you insert the bulb into the housing? It can enter there when the bulb is out.
Heres one example...

My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
Amusing, but I think I might have saved my warranty dealer-pressure tactic for something more serious. Mine had condensation droplets when delivered. They are not that sealed, from inside.
