Default Taillights+rain=water lights

Everytime it rains my drivers side rear taillight fills up with water. I replaced the taillight gaskets with genuine honda parts but it still leaks. One time it even broke my tail light bulb. Anybody have the same problem? How should I go about fixing this? Also is there supposed to be a rear splash shield because my car does not have one. So water can splash up in between my bumper and the plastic trim in the trunk. Sometimes my trunk will even get a little water in it. Help.

Put some sealant around the taillights where the lens and housing meet. That might work.

I had the same problem, different kind of car tho. It got so bad that one of the mounting posts rusted off (back plate was metal). I put new sockets in, and that fixed it for me. Dunno what to tell you tho. Good luck with it.
