moisture in sidemarker

Can someone please tell me the name of the sealant that i need to use to seal the marker? And also what is a good way to get all the moisture out of it first, because they are currently installed and have a lot of water in them. Thanks in advance.

To get the water out, dry putting them in the oven on a cookie sheet on a low setting..like 100-120 degrees along with some dessicant in a cup. Then leave them in there for awhile, or until you notice all of the water is gone. Bring the clears to room temp. Then run a bead of clearsilicone to seal up the edges (where the white plastic meets the clear plastic) and let dry. After you run the bead of clear silicone, you may want to smoothen the bead out with your finger some. If bead is not smooth, don't worry as it won't show when you install it.

Silicone!!!

Silicon = the material used to make microchips...can be a bit pricey...and I don't know how good of a job it will do sealing your side-markers.
