clear lense problem
i installed my clear lenses about three weeks ago and i've already used 4 bulbs onthe passenger side. some how water got into the housing and its been hell ever since. last weekend i added silicone around the entire housing and even on around the hole that you place the bulb into,but today i put on my right turn signal and it came on but it did not blink,when i looked inside the housing the bulb blew (literally). i tried drying out the socket but apparently that didn't work.....any suggestions

Look at the socket and if its brown around the edges or ever smells burn I bet this is the problem. Also no automotive stores had the socket so I had to go to GM to get it. I have the part number at home and it was almost $60 for the part. Took 5 mins to cut the old one off, splice the new one in, and no more problems. Hope this helps.
