If you're serious, which I know is a problem for you, I should be able to help...
You need to get someone to hose the back of the car, while you're in the boot, so you can work out where the water is getting into the light. Then the best thing to use is some "heavy duty" bathroom sealant, and plug the hole with that.
I ended up coating the entire edge of the lamp pod with the stuff, to stop it getting in.
Oh, and to empty it beforehand, use the squirty top piece of say, a bottle of de-icer, to "pump" out the water.

I think I used the sealant to stop the water reaching the light, as well as blocking the hole. Probably needs someone with super-human strength to get the light pod out of the car now though...
Got some strange looks from the neighbours, when on a rainy day, I was lying in the boot (via the back seats) with a torch looking for leaks!

A galf ball? Nope.
It means I'm still too furious to speak after not being invited to watch the model named Mica, show off the clothing in a photo-shoot.
