Default tail light question

Hi Guys,

I feel pretty stupid for asking actually, but I recently got my car repaired and one of the things replaced/repaired was the rear bumper.
What I've noticed is that water does appear to get inside the tail lights while washing the car.

The question is it actually normal for a little bit of water to get inside? I may of not noticed this before but doesn't seem right.

Here's an image with where the water gets inside of.



Edit: Yes I know it was a stupid question, but I'm pretty curious!

it can happen
no it doesn't actually get into the area where the bulbs are so it doesn't really matter
you could take your taillight assy off and glue it all up if you really like

the other option is you can drill a tiny drain hole in the bottom but sealing it would be a far better option so it wouldnt get condensation in there.
