Question...do you have Altezzas or any other aftermarket tail lights?

all stock

Hmm, usually when I hear about this it's caused by a bad seal around the tail lights, even with them being stock. Pull the tails out and put a bead of silicon on the gasket to help seal better, that should solve the problem.

what type of silicon should I get

Any silicon sealant should do the job unless someone else can suggest otherwise.

I can't. It's the same fix for the first gen.
Although my dealer used other foam padding + silicon...

It could also be the foam gasket under the rubber seal lining the trunk hatch. Mine is torn and leaks water. I'm going to try silicone.

is that the foam I keep finding in my trunk?

Listen to Jason, my car the same problem. I changed over to tezzas and put a bead of silicone on there....all fixed.

when I looked at my tail lights there was no evidence of water coming from them but there was water up by my spoiler so I tightened the bolts
