    no doubt the seals in them have failed.
    wouldnt worry too much about it once their dry. brissy wont rain for a long time after all these storms.

    but to get the moisture out all you need to do is get the lights in a dry place and pump some heat onto them so the moisture evaperates.
    a hair dryer should do the trick.
    but whilst its still raining the moisture will come back.

    only other alternative is to de-seal them and re-seal them
