Yeah, cheap lenses aren't sealed well. Get a sealant and reseal the lenses and make sure your seals where the light bulbs go in are tight.

Mine used to do it. I just took some clear silicone and sealed around the lenses. No problems any more.

silicone should do the trick.

Friend got some tails that leaked. Dried them out and put some silicone on them and took care of that.

Re: clear turn signals on 00' s10

haven't had that problem with mine either. BTW is it easy or difficult to take off the amber corner reflector?


Ohh, forgot to mention that this did happen to my aftermarket headlight lens on my Expedition.
