Reversing Light Under Water

Hi
This has probably been dealt with in another post but I couldn't find anything through a search. My 2001 Freda has several inches of water in the reversing light. How do I access this to remove water and prevent it happening again?
Thanks all
Paul

Easiest way is to drill a small hole somewhere not too visible which lets the water out and doesn't let it build up again

Hi
The drilling hole technique will work but over time you'll get dirty black residue from the continual moisture.
Take your back light cluster off the vehicle, empty the water, let the unit dry out in the sun then seal around with clear exterior silicon.

Thanks for the suggestions. Does anyone have an idiot's guide to removing the back light cluster?

Undo the screws you can see then slide it sidways outwards from Bongy.

I seem to remember someone doing a write up on how to remove the assy, its either on here or on the Mazda Bongo Forum.
Good Luck
