Anyone else having this problem?
I while back i got the clear front reflectors off bay and I keep getting water in them and it keeps busting the bulb. I was going to put some clear silicone around it then around where the bulb goes in. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how did you go about fixing it? Thanks

I forgot to place the rubber gasket on mine. It stayed attached to the old lamp, lil black rubber piece. Mine filled up and while I was taking off the bulb fixture I noticed it was lose. I compared it to the other one and noticed it was missing the rubber gasket. I felt like a dumbass. Looked at the old one.. TA-DAHHHH....

I have found there are basically two types available on ebay. Cheap ones and slightly more expensive (but more durable) ones. I had the black corners, but same idea.
The vast majority of the markers on ebay are the cheap crap ones. I had a set. I think they looked a tad bit better but the plastic was junk and warped and melted from the heat of the bulb over time, which then would let water in and blow the bulbs. I got a set of the other kind (seller neondials has them last I checked) and I no longer had blowing bulbs or water in the housings.
