If you have the old style lights then take them apart and dry them out, the pcb's come off the back giving easy access to dry them out, if you leave it too long you will get corrosion on the pcb which is not good.

It was the mention of PCBs that alerted me to this! Just old fashioned bulbs and wires on the D2s!

I have a small amount in one of my rear lights, but only the reversing section. The LED area is perfectly fine and dry.
