Could be condensation. Our VN has the same problem, I've taken the rubber bungs out of the floor. Apparently Commodores have a factory issue with water getting into the tail lights, I'm forever changing bulbs, but now using a smear of Coppercoat on the new ones.

common problem with the seals (rubber) between the lights and the body. do the bolts up to tight (that hold the lights in) and the rubbers bend out creating a small gap. too loose and it leaves a gap.

The factory fix was a boot lamp & reflector seal kit. Consisted of thicker foam seals for the holes including flat rubber washers for the studs & a new strip for along the top of the reflector panel. Unfortunately this is now obsolete.all you need to do is unbolt, either make up new gaskets out of medium density foam strip & maybe even lightly smear surfaces with acid free rtv or similar (NOT your normal red gasket sealer) and tighten up nicely - as mentioned above not too loose or not too tight.
