Why don't you put water in them then go to the dealer.

what you need to do is turn your lights on and let them get hot if in a cold area if you are somewhere it is hot put your car out in the sun. then go to a carwash and with the pressure washer aim for the sides of the light, what is happening is when the case heats up it will expand and allow moisture to get in. this is the best way to replicate what is happening.
