are these on the corner lights? or on the headlights? If your talking about the corner lights then there are plugs that attach onto the back of the light to keep the water out. They are a pain to get to though, i had to pull off all of my shields and flap from under the car.

This is a really common problem, especially on TA's. What I ended up doing was getting 2 brand new housings off of ebay for about $20 a piece and then sealing up the seam around the housing/front lens with some clear silicone. I also bought 2 new sockets that included a thick grommet that seals very good against the housing. Before I would get water in it every time it rained, but since I did that I haven't had a drop of water get in them in over 10 months.

I can't remember the part # but it's a pretty standard part that most auto parts stores should have. It is the socket with a 3-wire pigtail on it. Here's a link to a thread with a little more info on it LINK
Let me know if you need to know where I got the housings from.

It was also a great visual upgrade to my car. My stock housings were hazy and discolored from the water, and the new clear housings definately made the car look 10x better from the front.
