Default Damn, my JDM corners are leaking...

Well, After the first time I washed the car, water was on the inside of the corner light but only on the edges. So I think ok, I spent 500 bucks to frickin watch my corner lights leak. The water doesent get into the houseing but it just surrounds the inside outer wall. So is there something I can do about this? Like re-seal them? If so what should I use?


Those who have jdm stanley corners do you have the same problem?

Please tell me you didn't pay $500 for some JDM corners.

Take em off, drain the water out of em, make sure they're dry inside, then run a bead of silicone around the edge of the housing, that should take care of your problem.

No I paid 500 for headlights and corners. Thanks for the details on what to do.

use black silicone to make it blend in better, too. goto a hardware store and look for stuff that is suitable for using on plastic. my depo JDM style corners are leaking, but i've been too lazy about re-sealing them. if there's water in them at all you should take them out and do the best you can to make sure there's no moisture in there. put them next to a heater, or something, but not so much that they'll melt/warp.
