Default Water LEaking In Trunk!! HELP ASAP!!!!

Like the title says i have a small amount of water in my spare tire well.

From what ive read on this and other forums is that its the rear tail lights and the best way to fix it is to use some silicon gel around the seals...

my problem is i dont know where exactly to seal the lights...i've read that some people took the lights out, and ive read that some people just put a seal around the top and side edge of the light without having to take em out

Can someone circle where im supposed ot seal these things in these pics ive taken?

you seem angry...




Anyways!!

There are 3 sources for the leaking.

One source is a leak coming through holes for the screws from the spoiler! You check to make sure nothing is coming from that.

A second source for leaking is from the trunk seal. Check that and make sure it is ok.

The third and last is the tail light seals. You can fix it by buying new seals or new tail lights.
