1998 1.5d Water getting into brake lights - clara211

My two rear brake lights aren't working. I've had a quick look at them and I can see that there is some condensation / moisture in both of them. I had a new bulb fitted on the left one when i had a winter service in November. The guy said that the bulb had been sat in water and they'd dried it all out but there was a chance it was leaking water. It obvioulsy is as the bulb went again about a week later. I've been driving round ever since with just two brake lights working (the right side and the one at the top of the rear window). The right hand one has now also gone. How can I stop this water getting in. I don't want to put in new bulbs for them to go again in a couple of weeks?
