Silicone would be a good idea, especially if you live anywhere that it rains a lot.

Definitely silicone them around the edge where the clear lens meets the plastic back piece. If you want white get some PIAA or Polarg hyperwhites. All 4 markers take a 194 bulb.

custommaxima.com has pretty cheap bulbs

Yeah use silicone. I did it and haven't had any condensation problems yet. It's been almost a year too.

are their shipping charges still expensive? if would be worth it if you are ordering something else but would not just order some bulbs.

I just installed mine and one had condensation. I baked it for a little and then sealed it. Put it on if you have a chance, but its not necessary.

Also if its an Ebay buy, try to get the Markers made in Taiwan. They are way better than the others ( Chinese? )

How do u put silicone on and where and what do u get it?
I just bought side markers and I have no clue about using silicone.

You want to put a line of silicone all the way around the markers...where the clear front meets the back plastic piece...and smear it with your fingers. It will be pretty obvious to you where it needs to go when you have them sitting there. Let the silicone dry for an hour or so and fill in any holes that develop. On mine it took me 2 or 3 coats to fill in all the little holes that develop as it dries. You can ge a small tube of clear silicone for about $2 at Autozone or Pep Boys or any place like that, just make sure it says for outdoor use. I think I got RTV silicone. I have a Word document with pics that shows the whole process, if you want a copy PM me your email address.

Piaa lights are amazing. Either those or Polarg lights which are also very bright.
