I can't stand getting aftermarket bumper lights (signal lights) for my 4th gen camaro and they end up fogging up. Everytime I try to separate them to reseal them they end up melting. Does anyone know of any good bumper lights I could get that I won't need to reseal? besides stock that is

why not just seal them up good from the get go. just add a bead of sealer around them when you get a new set.

better to start out good, than deal with it later. but, personally i never had any problems with my cheap ebay aftermarkets leaking/fogging up or anything. maybe its just this great california weather...

drill holes in it to let the moisture out

I've had 2 different sets (changed the style) and haven't had any leaks. On the 2nd set I just RTV'd the edges.

The ones I have on my car right now have been through super heavy rain and cold weather have not had any leaking issues..

There's a few different ones out there. I've tried one type and they melted and leaked, in general were crap. Tried a different set that actually have a silver reflector in the back (they are black housings) and have a metal heat shield in them. No melting no leaking.

Well I've put a bead of RTV around this whole thing, even tried RTVing the rubber o-rings and they still fog up!!! Its annoying the hell out of me!!!

Sounds like you got the crappy ones.

^^I think we might have the same ones. Black housing with a reflector for the turn signal bulb, yet not for the 194 running light. I have had them for about 2 years in hot sun and heavy rain, and they seem to be holding up excellently! Recently, I put some vinyl tint on certain sections to decrease the appearance of the section where the lens seals with the housing..

Anyway, you should check them out on ebay. They are not too expensive and look good

Yeah, these are what I have (and from the description, what you have):



Although I have one of those on my passenger side, and a siliconed-like-crazy cheapo on the driver side (holding up for now). Busted up my driver side one when I slid on the snow/ice a month ago and bounced off a guardrail. Not putting new parts on until spring/summer when I repair the whole front end (and the rest of the car's imperfections). Hood, bumper, fender, headlight, signal light.. Joy.

i have the clear version of those ^. cept i tinted them. but they are only RTV'd around the light sockets. lightly. and have held up nicely.

I think I have a slightly different version, probably from a different company. the inside reflectors are set up slightly differently. I'll have to get a pair of those ones you showed me so I can finally stop these things from leaking!

brian_rs/ss

yeah they are pretty cheap. just make sure u don't get the "euro" ones with the round reflector on them.

The ones I posted have just two versions - black and chrome. No round things in them.
