Default Tri-bar problem (Help at 110th)

After 14 years of riding I got pulled over for the first time tonight while celebrating the 110th in Milwaukee. Problem is I have a LED Tri-bar on my night train. It works just fine when I start the bike cold or after an hour of sitting. The longer I ride the more the light dims. Eventually it barely seeable and the brake light fails to work. Let the bike sit and it is fine and then goes downhill again. I recently changed the brakes and I thought it was the the brake switch. After reading more about the problem I noticed the LED does have issues when it gets wet. Recently rode through big storm. There does appear to be water in the lens. Need a fix now (cannot pry open and allow to dry). Do I need to replace or am I missing something?

Thanks.
