   Hi the quickest way is to remove the bulbs and get a heat gun or hairdryer and blow hot air in until it's all gone, doesn't take long. Then look for the why it's happening. Cracks in the plastic casing, glass not sealed right etc.

   due to being taken apart to be smoked? or slight crack in lense? or could even be that the rubber grommet on back of the light where the bulb goes in has come off or has a hole in.
