you can drill a small hole in the bottom cofner to let the condensation out and then seal up the rest of them with clear silicone stuff

Dry them out with a hair dryer to get all of the moisture out. Then put a bead of silicone around where the lense and the back meet. I would also recommend putting a bead of silicone around the bulb sockets. This will gaurantee no moisture. It's what I did. No leaks and no fogging.
