Be careful taking out the front ones to seal them. I broke my tabs and now have to send them back for new ones. I followed the directions to the letter. So now I have my old ones back on the front of the car. They didn't break when I took them out!!

No you should be fine. Non-latex is usually used out doors as its more durable. But you should be fine, I wouldn't worry about it.

I've been lucky. They've come right out so far.

Had to fix to many of them for members and friends, Buy the way the best way to seal them is with RTV Clear Silicone, do it 2 times to get the best seal.

I'm having the same issues with the water and burned out bulbs. I'm on my second pair. Jonathan has been good at getting me new ones out.

On the second one you can see brown stuff inside of it, and condensation on the right side. I did what you did PQ and put some sealant around the connector housing and this is the only one that has an issue.

Thanks for all the info guys. Getting ready to pull the trigger on these and now I can seal them prior to installing.

I said it once, I'll say it again.... This is alot of money to spend on a product with a defect, lifetime warranty or not.

I agree with you. Believe me I do.

That just shows you how much I REALLY like this product.

It's a real easy fix to run a bead of sylicon around it.

But, there's no doubt. You should be able to install and enjoy.

I just look at it, now, as part of the install.

I've been lucky so far! But I have the clear silicone if it becomes a problem. Thanks Randy ~ nice how-to

OR....You could buy the Showstoppers version which have had ZERO issues AND don't require you to SEAL the product YOURSELF.

..AND Showstoppers is running a group buy right now which saves you $50. I cannot for the life of me figure out why anybody would order AAC when there is another option that works better and is cheaper

Probably because they didn't know there was a problem.

Plus, AAC had a group buy that I got in on.

179.00 and no shipping.
