Take the light out, empty, dry with a hair dryer, refit, making sure the seal is correct

Use the switch on the light?

now, i took the rear lights off.
but how do i detach the part where the water is in without damaging the lights?? i checked the guides but only light bulb replacement guide availavle.

Follow the instructions for bulb changing which should invlove removing the bar with the bulbs on. You'll then be left with the other bit that you need to dry out.

Nasty looking...................toenail.

Turn it so that lamp holes are facing the ground and shake.

If all else fails, drill a small hole in the back surface low down, so that any water getting in, comes out again.
