Its not a hard job really.
Just a bit fiddly getting the LEDs out but its worth it. Take off during the day, dry over night and refit the next day. I got 4 silicone jel packs to put in but I forgot to do it at the time of putting them back together. I'll keep an eye on them, if they start to go again I'll restrip, dry and fit the packs in.

Silicone gel packs
The silicone gel packs you guys are alluding to; are these the type you get in shoe boxes when you buy a new pair and in other clothing items to keep stuff fresh?

Got my tail light off today (boot lid one), and as Del suggested, having left mine too late, the pcb inside has rusted in areas.
I managed to get a replacement, of which the lens has deep cracks/scratches in; tried removing them with the usual wet and dry approach, but didn't do much. I've tested the led's on the panels, and some do not light up. Going to try and desolder some of the good ones from my old one, and solder them onto the replacement unit I purchased. Any one done any of the soldering before with the individual led's?
