Should I reseal these lights?

[yankeeslover]

sorry, its the resident worry freak.. I was just looking at my tailights and wondering if this needs to be resealed..two years old... is this something easy to redo, or should i panic again? sorry.. if its easy can you give details on how to fix this? what to use? or are they ok? thank you

i just put alittle bit of elcheapo clear silicone around those exposed middle pieces..just for piece of mind.. i just dont want water getting behind the light and into the fiberglass... can you see i worry too much? LOL

After yesterday's postings you made and now today's, you need your own thread.

I'd suggest; crack a beer and relax... You overthink things WAY too much...


All kidding aside, silicone is not a fix all. While it does work, you will never get rid of the residue.

Can you just replace the lens - you will probably get new gaskets with the new ones and it looks like you need them.

Light clear caulk on top and sides, do not do the bottom in order to allow any moisture to drain out.

Looks like you license plate is horizontal and if it is your light is vertical. If so, that surprises me because the retaining tab is showing and it should be on bottom so water will drain out. Mine are sealed around the fixture and I added caulk where the wires come out. Left the red lenses unsealed.

The light mounting plate should be caulked to the fiberglass. I like the grab a beer and relax idea
