    I have a 07 Ford Focus Zetec.

    About 3 months ago I noticed that one of the number plate lights had an orange glow. I had a look at the light holder and saw that water had got in and the bulb holder had started to rust. I replaced it with an new holder, however its started to rust again. Obviously water is getting in somewhere but I cannot see where. The seals on the light look fine. Just wondering has anybody come across this before?

    Thanks.

    There was a recall on the wiper motor seal when they first came out; depending on date of manufacture of your car, it may have been overlooked and may need it. You'll have to ring a main dealer with your vin no. and see if there's any recall's out for it.
    Failing this, you'll have to get a leak test done on it, try and pinpoint the source.
