The rear lights on my 2015 Scout are LED in a cluster of 4 in a 'hockey stick' configuration. The bottom off side light is showing a small amount of water ingress. I can't see any way of removing the cluster/light. There are no visible screws or slots. Any thought please. Kevin

    Drill a small hole at the bottom, let the water out, dry it by blowing a hairdryer at it, then put a bung in the hole.  If any sort of access at rear smear it with sealant.

    All assuming it isn't still under warranty...?

    When I have done that on a caravan and a motorhome I have never bothered with a bung. Thought it better to let any water which collects to drain straight away plus it should allow ventillation and help keep the inside dry. My holes were done with a 1/8 inch drill.

    They look far far too expensive to be drilling drain holes in them. How about finding the entry point & seal it? Surely the handbook/manual should tell you how they come out

    If it is anything like the Mohican I had, you're more likely to break the light in trying to remove it. The screws holding the fittings corrode and can be very difficult to remove.

    Thanks for your replies. I've re-checked my documentation and can't find anything relating to their removal. I guess my next step is to contact the dealer
