turn signal Ok this may sound stupid, but I need help. My left turn signal went out a few weeks ago and I couldn't get it out. I had to pry it off. I guess in doing that I caused a small opening and moisture has been getting in. 2 days ago the 2nd bulb I put in it blew. I don't have the money right now for new housings, which I do plan on gettin in the near future. I was wondering if there was a way to fix it for the time being. I was thinking silicon or something along those lines. Little help please. I just need a temporary fix so I don't have to keep chaning bulbs. I'm already going to do it today for the 3rd time in a month.

You're right about mosture causing the blowing bulbs. If you can find where water is getting in you can put silicon over that. For mine i drilled small holes in the bottom of the housing so air can get in the housing and prevent moisture build up.

I had the same problem on my passenger side turn signal.
I just took an old wetsuit I had laying around and cut a gasket, of sorts, out of it.
Seems to have worked quite well.
