Stick them in the airing cupboard overnight to dry. Buy some 'seek 'n seal' the run it round the edge at the back where the plastic joins.

Mine only does it after I wash it with hot water. I normally just leave the lights on for 10 minutes. Problem Solved.

My Irmscher Rears do it, that gets on my wick more

Indeed

My Depo's don't but I added some extra silicone before I fitted them to give a little extra water proofing

drill a hole in it 3 mm in the plastic and make sure everything else is sealed this way it gives somewhere for the condensation to escape to i had to do my fogs to night it works on headlights too
