Default Are there any clear corners for a camaro that don't suck?

My right side turn signal/parking light housing is a POS. I replaced the gasket and moisture is still getting in there. I have to replace bulbs once every few weeks it seems.

I know many clear corners tend to also let moisture in and the dealer wants too much for a stock parking lamp.

Anyone know of any clear corners that don't let moisture in?

Have you tried drilling holes in the bottoms of the housing? That seems to be pretty effective. Or you can move to CA where it rains 2-3 times a year

Drill holes and use some clear rtv where the housing meets the lens. Also smear a layer around where the bulb sockets go in. Let it dry for 30 minutes and slap em back on. Works like a charm

I just used some clear silicone, and I've never had a problem.
