Many aftermarket tails suffer from water intrusion problems like yours...which is one reason why the majority of HAN members dislike them. It is unlikely that you'll find any Integras with Euro Tail Lights on this board - but you are welcome to search the Integra Gallery thread (which is stickied at the top of the forum).

I would recommend removing them from the car (intact) letting them sit face down in the sun [or under gentle heat] to let the water evaporate and escape out the bulb socket holes.

If water is trapped in a place where this strategy won't work, then the only other solution is to use a heat gun and carefully break the seal on the lamps... wipe out the water and re-seal them with silicone sealant.

Once the water is removed...buy some OEM taillights and sell the aftermarket tails to someone else.
