Water in sidelight

Just noticed condensation and water in the indicator/sidelight "bulb". Easy to fix or back to the dealer?

Thanks
Dave

That should not leak, dealer replacement I think. None of the lamps should leak, but condensation does form on the rear lamps on earlier cars. If the lamp has had a bump from a stone or parking incident it can break the seals. Or maybe the bulb holder has come adrift, best to get it checked, thats what dealers are for.
