A reservoir (10) is removably arranged in the enclosure for being purged, and communicates with the enclosure to collect liquid in the enclosure. A fan (15) is arranged in the enclosure to generate a flow of cooling air. The reservoir communicates with the enclosure via a passage (17) located in a low point of the enclosure. The passage between the enclosure and the reservoir comprises a baffle (19). A light source (12) e.g. LED, is arranged in the enclosure. A filter is placed in a lower point of the enclosure. An independent claim is also included for a method for evacuating liquid from an enclosure of an illuminating and signaling device of a motor vehicle.
