Default Depo Headlights

Hi, i just got a set of depo headlights for my 5th gen accord, and i was wondering if they are supposed to have a rubber peice on the back of them to cover where the bulb goes into the housing to prevent them from leaking, because mine didn't come with any... i tried searching to see if anyone has asked this before, but couldn't find an answer... if they dont come with them, has anyone done anything to seal the back up? any help would be great, thanks

your right, the stock ones don't have rubber gaskets, but the depo headlights are way different, they take an h4 instead of a 9006... it just looks like they should have something on the back.

what lights did you get? I know there was a seller on ebay from over seas selling pairs that have fresnel lenses and dont come with corner lenses or rear seals.

There ARE suposed to be seals on the rear of the lights, otherwise water will pour right in there. I will double check, but I believe the seals on the 92-95 civic headlights will work.

i bought the depo headlights, they came with the corners and all that, i put them in a few days ago with a mcculloch 6000k hid kit, it looks great, the light output isn't that great, but the glare isn't too bad either. so, does anyone know of anything to seal the back of these headlights?
