Lesson learned I bought a set of front clear cornersmy camaro from Ebay. Red flag should have flown when the holes /plugs didnt line up properly. The the first wash they leaked. So I yanked them out and trashed them, Re installed the stock orange after spraying with a coat of VHT tint. No leak and looks even better dark.
Yeah that does happen from time to time. I just used some silicone to lock tight the bulbs in. On my previous set I used to blow out left turn signal bulbs with every trip to carwash or rain.
My first set of clears I bought for my LT1 a few years ago were great - no leaks, no issues. The recent set I bought for my LS1 weren't as good. I'm hoping they hold up but I wish I had kept the name of the eBay seller for the first set.
BTW, if you put silicone on the seams and you don't put it on carefully, it WILL show through the body gaps and it looks like crap. So if you use silicone, use it carefully and sparingly and trim the excess off before you install them.
