Aftermarket clear side markers; which last the longest?
I'm on my 3rd DAMN set of these things and again they started to get condensation. Please let me know which ones you guys had and how long they have lasted without any leaks/condensation. Thanks.
I have the OEM Style Clear markers ... They are textured just like the Orange ones except they're clear and I've had no problems whatsoever with them ... I believe I've had them on for 4 -5 months now ...
...BTW each set of mine were fine for the first 6 mos. or so; then it was all down hill after that. Maybe I'm tightening them too much a creating a very tiny crack around the edge? They are only $20 shipped for the pair...it's just a PITA though...
just do a bead of silicone around the seam and it wont get condensation
my city is known for its rain (Vancouver)
and i dont have condensation in my clear side markers for over a year now or is it two, cant remember
That's exactly what I was going to say. I had to do the same thing with my turn signals on my old Integra that were aftermarket. I wanted the black housing "smoke" turnsignal to go with the thundergrey metallic car. It looked good together but they liked to leak. Took them out dried em out and hit them with silicone and never had a problem until of course, the integra met its death.
I have OBX clear side markers looks exactly like OEM build except its white/clear. was $35 shipped on ebay. pricey but no problems and its been 10months.
i had a pair but the time started to pass ( couple months) then the cover was gone, probally lost it on the freeway cause it sucked and my bulb was exposed. stick with OEMM ones.
