Waterproofing tailights
What are you guys/gals using to seal your tailights from water leaks. Mine are almost flooded after washing the car yesterday.

use silacone all around the edges, and then when yo put bulbs back in use some vasline or bearing grease on there seal to the housing and that will not let water in.

wow as long as I have owned a mustang I have never seen this before. Are these new lights or the ones that came from the factory? Not sure what to use to seal them up.

I used a plastic tank repair kit from Murrays to fix the hole. This stuff works great and easy to use.
