Take the bulbs out and blast some hot air in there for a bit to get rid of it.
(At least I think this works)

Yes, that would work mate.
If it happens again then get some silicone round the joins.

It will  But there is a water leak into the lamps so that needs fixing, cracked lens or water getting in from behind the cluster?

Or if your not going anywhere for a while.
You know when you buy like new trainers or a dvd player or something electrical. You get that little bag that says "Do Not Eat!" attach that bag to some fishing wire and drop it in the light for a while to recover all the moisture. Then remove it.
