My cure was to reinforce the whole reflector assembly area around the plate area with thick foam tape. This held up for 2-3 years but the inherent crappy design has let the water work its way through again. I just keep a stash of extra reverse bulbs on-hand and replace them as they rust out. I had a pic of my fix somewhere but I can't find it at the moment.
Sorry I can't be more specific, HTH
