MY front turn signals on my firebird keep filling up with water after being out in rain and it keeps burning out the bulbs. Any idea on how to fix this?

The only method that was effective for me was installing new light housings. I tried drilling small holes to let the water out to no avail. At one time I always kept some bulb spares inside the glove compartment in case rainfall got me while driving. If I drove in a downpour for sure the bulbs were dead in a short amount of time.

I had the exact same problem, instead of buying new housings, Me and my cousin just put some clear sealer on them. U can barely see it and its better than the 100 +? housings from gm

The front of the lenses are cracked. Drilling a weep hole at the bottom will help, but the only way to fix the problem 100% is to put on new lenses. (They are not very expensive.)

I drilled two 1/8 inch holes at the bottom corner of each housing. Works fine, no more bulbs and wire harnesses.

You have no clue whatsoever as to how much the housings cost...dont you? I love these ignorant posts...:eyes: Enjoy your crappy sealed housings with your cousin. I installed new ones...I bet those look 200 times better than your idiotic fix. I could tell you where and how much you could get them but better go and ask your cousin...LOL!

I have said this again and again...this site has gone to shit since these cars are cheaper and available to almost anyone, and their cousin! Meh...
