Keep getting this in the sidelight & front indicator. Take the off, dry them out and its back within a week. Any ideas on how to cure this?

Thumbs up

How are you drying them? If you warm them, you're introducing more moisture, as warm air holds more than cold. Incredibly, the driest place in your house is your freezer, followed by the fridge.
Place in warm dry place for an hour, eg airing cupboard, top of boiler. This will encourage any actal liquid moisture to turn into vapour.
Put both in the freezer, for about 3 hours, facing with open end up, so that warm, moist air can escape, to be replaced with cold dry air.
Remove from freezer, take outside, and fit lampholder to seal it, quickly!
Best done on a cold day too.
