1) make sure the rubber gasket for the bulb is on and seated correctly.

2) use clear silicon around the edge where the housing and lense are glued.

3) if 1 and 2 don't work I've read that people got it to stop by drilling small holes on the bottom of the corner to let the water out.

Hope this helps

if you have taken your headlights off b4, when you put them back there is too much of a gap and it causes extra water to sit right on top of the signal lights and there is no other place for the water to settle except inside the signal light. Make sure you do as AW/whiteZ-28 listed, other than those three, there is nothing else you can do.

Where can you get a new rubber gasket seal for the DRLs? When I got my car a year ago, it didn't have any and I've gone through over a dozen lighs on each side.

Dealer has them for less than a dollar apiece. I don't know a part number but they can look it up.
