I had the same problem as you did. I got new clear corners and while my car was being painted the shop installed them. They siliconed the sockets to keep moisture out, but it didnt work on the passenger side.
I have a puddle that forma when I wash it.
I would seal them with silicone so you can replace the bulb instead of epoxy that would most likely destroy the lens.
I would also drill a hole in one of the far back corners to let any moisture out incase some gets in there.

Best thing that has worked for many is to simply drill small holes on the bottom of the lense. It also helps to have shop vac to suck up any water that collects in them after a car wash.
