I had this problem last year with my 95 EVC on the passenger side light.
The
place I was going for service dried out the lens and tried to find a leak
somewhere.
They couldn't find anything and offered to order a new lens for $250 or so.

I disassembled the lamp and smeared silicon sealer around the glass/metal
interface
and seal for the lamp plug-in in the rear.  The problem didn't come back,
but
I still don't really know where the leak really was.
