Narrative:
Left centerline of high speed taxiway exiting runway. Landing on runway 4R ord was uneventful. Upon exiting the runway at high-speed taxiway Q, the aircraft skidded leaving the centerline of the taxiway. I regained control on the edge of the taxiway. The runway was wet, but the braking action was good. The high-speed taxiway was wet. I had slowed the aircraft to a normal exit speed when the nosewheel began to skid. I was unable to determine if I had impacted any taxi lights. I called ground and advised them of the possible damage to the taxi lights. I called maintenance and advised them. I wrote up the logbook to inspect the gear and tires.
