Hi daking1959,
Hopefully by now everything has dried out and your lights have returned to operation. If not and you have no message in the message center stating they are out. I would pull the light housing out and look for water intrusion. If intrusion is found, dry it out and check your bulb connections. Look at the top of the bulb housing, mine had a crack in the top of the housing just above the bulb. I suspected it was from the heat. I simply replaced the housing and seated a new bulb with a very light coat of dielectric grease at the bulb connection. Hope this helps.
Bulb replacement procedure was in my Owners Manual. I can't think of why it wouldn't be in yours also.
