Mine get condensation in too, I wouldn't worry about it . I think that as long as there is moisture in the car then it will transfer into the lights.
10 minutes sunlight and it goes away. I put silica gel sachets in my car to try to get rid of some of the vapour.

A little bit, you can buy big ones from the pound shop that are huge, my wife says hers worked quite well, (she has cloth seats, I have leather and believe that the cloth helps take some of the moisture)

You could just temporarily remove the bulb and use a hairdryer to heat the cluster up to evapourate the accumulated condensation.
