I have two wagons and have experienced the same problem with water in the lights. I bought several lights(eBay) from early wagons and exchanged the metal strips. There are tabs on the strip that hold onto the light housing. It's pretty obvious if you take a good look. The leaking seems to be where the clear lens is bonded to the plastic back. Sealing should solve the problem if you get the sealer in the right place, but I took the easier approach of replacing the light. I've always been amazed that the hot bulbs don't shatter from the volume of water that gets into lights, but I've never seen that happen.
