Well you guys were right. My drain and reseal of the left hand rear light cluster last summer didn't last 
I noticed the other week that it had water in it again, albeit it was still working ok. So I drilled a very small hole in the side at the bottom corner and it drained all the water out in 10 mins or so, great.
Trouble is it immediately failed and would only work intermittently. The following day the indicator LED's failed completely.
Following advice from forum members I contacted Clive at 'Blinkin Marvellous' via his eBay links.
Several email queries later, all promptly replied to, I posted the light cluster off to him on a Monday
Tuesday night Clive sent a text to say the cluster was repaired, including a broken seal clip and a dim red running light. He posted back to me the next day (Wed)
The cluster is now in and fully working - a great service from Clive along with prompt responses and updates. Happy to recommend if you have the dreaded light cluster water ingress issues. (I have no connection to him or his business)
Much more cost effective than a new one, assuming you could even find one, and without the risk a second hand unit may already have the same issue.
