D3 55 plate clumps of LEDs out...

[R055Y]

I have groups of LEDs out on the passanger side rear, drivers side is fine...on the corner and the boot clusters (which makes me think the LEDs are ok)
I did have a bit of water ingres so I stripped them down got the wifes hair dryer out and they are now water free. I got the soldering Iron out and went carfully over the LED joints but they are exactly the same...
Anyone had this and found a fix or am I going to have to shell out on the nice new ones like Mr IT (anministrator)????
