Default what gets into my tail lights! help?!

Ever since I got rear ended water gets into my tailight when it rains or when I wash it. The damage wasn't bad not even noticable just the bumper moved a little bit. What's weird to me is when water fills the tail light housing the bulbs don't go out. Pics up soon. Any helps/suggestoins apreciated

It seems to me that most people always get this on the driver's side tailight...at least for me anyway...I had this problem in my 98 Eclipse, 98 GSR, and I have it a little in my RSX too lol...i'd suggest maybe blowing it out with an air hose if there is a crack...i'd hope the crack isn't big though...but maybe try to seal up wherever the leak is?...try taking out the tailight and see if you notice anything...and if you do, and seal it up with something such as super-glue, puddy, etc...whichever works for you...and can't dry up the remaining water, try using a hair dryer...the heat might radiate through and dry it up faster...whatever you end up doing, good luck...these are just the ideas that came to mind after reading this thread so take what you can from it, just trying to help.

Thanks for the advice. Its kind of funny tho. Somtimes both the tail lights fill up completly and I can't even notice it. I was thinking about replacing both tail lights but that seems to drastic. The jdm integra tail lights do looks nice tho lol. If only I could find a way to put gold fish in them. Jk
