Eric,
I spent ages trying to solve that one as I had a real problem with it.
First I bought a new lens/bulb holder. When it filled right up again I sent
it all back and got another lens/holder. Still no luck.
Then I tried self-amalgamating tape all around the back of the assembly. A
few week later you could have kept a goldfish in the thing!
Finally worked it out though, water runs down the cable, into the connector,
down the pins in the bulb holder and comes out at the base of the bulb.
A couple of drops of runny cyanoacrylate glue and a squirt of accelerator
spray to set it sealed up the tiny gaps around the pins and solved the
problem.
That was a few months ago, no more leak. But the fog light on the other
side has started to do it too so i'm gonna pull that this weekend and try
the same remedy.
David.

much, but enough that I can see droplets on the lens. Funny thing is, it's
