Water is leaking into the front turn signal housing in the bumper on my Regal on the passenger side. There was even water inside the bulb. Not sure how it is leaking since there does not appear to any cracks?
 
Perhaps the seal around the lens is bad and/or the drain hole is plugged.
Check for the foam rubber gasket around the bulb socket.

The extensions are in place. Usually I try to not drive the car in the rain, but it does sit out in the rain as I lack indoor storage that is big enough to hold it. So I think the water likely leaked in while parked.
 
those light assemblies are easy to remove so maybe you can remove it and take a good look at it. You could even run water over it to see where it is leaking into the unit. Or put a soapy liquid on the assembly and blow some air into it to see where bubbles appear.
 
I feel compelled to say this but please take as friendly ribbing...

did you alter the location of the AC drain from to save the frame and mistakenly point it towards your signal light?....😀
 
S'more ribbing--maybe it's time to drain the battery, your electrons are too wet.
 
Lol, ok. I already took the housing out and checked it for cracks and did not see any. It has weird rubber bulb sockets which also act as sealing grommets. Both just snap in and twist to lock and seal, one mounts right on top of the housing. The second socket mounts on the back and that is the one that had a bulb full of water.
 
Not in 15 years.
