Dunno about geting them off, never done it, but I wouldnt imagine it being hard.
Obviously its got a leak somewhere, and all you have to do is plug it up.
I had water getting in my right rear indicator, all I did was glue up the leak and then drill a small hole at the bottom to let it drain off incase I didnt fix the leak properly.
You should be able to find an inconspicuous (spelling?) spot to drill a hole if required.

they are easy to take off,, pop the boot, undo the 2 phillips head screws, then inside the boot, pull thrim trimaway to find a 10mm nut that holds the corner in, then twist the bulb holders out of the sockets.. BINGO..

Shove a rag over a screwdriver or a drift insert it where the bulbs go. Wipe the inside of the lense, or compressed air is better if you have access to that.. It is a good idea to drill a tiny drain hole on the inside corner of the lense to let the water run out.. I have seen them full of dirt, full of water like a fish tank and even full of mould :(
