99 DII - Anybody experience getting water in their front turn signal light? I already replaced one that rusted out and noticed that the new light is already half full of water again. Any thoughts on the best way to remove the water and keep it from happening again? | ||

Yeah, I had that happen to my 97 D1. Take it off, and around the seal, put some clear silicone around it. That fixed it for me. Good Luck! | ||

Drill a small hole in the bottom front of the lense - it'll let any accumulated water drain out Bill | ||

Appreciate the feedback. I will give one or both suggestions a try. | ||

why would you do both - isn't that counterproductive? Wouldn't you simply 1) either seal the crap out of it and never have anything enter, or 2) accept that water is always going to get in and drill the tiny weep hole to get rid of whatever enters. | ||

I do not see how that would be counterproductive? It might be overkill to do both but one will not negate the other. That would be counterproductive. At least if you do both if one fails you have a back up. Scott--I drilled a hole. It works great but start with a very small bit and get larger if needed. A small bit will help ensure the lense does not crack |
