They will be fine, ignore the garage they don't know what they are on about.
They may get condensation in them which isn't a problem but if it annoys you I think drilling a hole in the casing somewhere will sort it I'm sure that's what a lot of others have done.

Options:
1. Buy better quality lights
2: Dry them out and seal them when it gets too bad

Erm, well. The for sale section on here normally has a few choices, eBay is always popular. German eBay is you want something different from the normal options. Ecosse is you want to set your wallet on fire for new ones.

What lights did you buy? Pic or a link will help with this......
Ebay should be an alright place to buy lights from but you do get what you pay for, buy cheap buy twice.....

Dude you paid to have rear lights fitted :|? in answer to your question see how you get on and if they do need it then as above drill a small hole, cant go wrong to be honest.
